Earlier in the week, the first single to be taken from 'Plastic Beach' leak online. It's called 'Stylo' and features Bobby Womack and Mos Def. Mos Def is even getting his own Gorillaz character, called Sun Moon Stars, who will appear on three tracks on the album. 'Stylo' can be heard streaming over on YouTube
