    As Blur and Gorillaz legend Damon Albarn prepares to release his first solo album, he sits down with the man he says made it all possible. Richard Russell runs XL Records (Adele, Radiohead, the xx) and is also an esteemed producer who has worked with Damon on a bunch of projects, including co-producing the recent Bobby Womack record and now Richard has produced this record 'Everyday Robots.' Here, they talk about the making of that album, becoming the next Wham and bumping into Brian Eno in the shower.
    'Everyday Robots' is released via Parlophone on 28th April. Get it here - smarturl.it/itERalbumdeluxe

    Damon Albarn is a wonderful musician/singer who has stood the test of time. One of the most overlooked genius in recent history.

    It's nice to watch Damon being comfortable in his own skin. I know he wasn't throughout much of blur.

      +Mis Kay You said: "He doesnt do drugs anymore. " That "exept for weed"you wrote sounds like you want say something like; "Yeah but it's just weed many people use that sometimes, so it's not dangerous at all. "

    Damon: I mean that was- that's the way it worked... *laughs* back then.
    Richard: Yeah... And now look at you.
    Damon: .....................?

    lonely press play really takes me back to when i heard that expressive creative sound when i was like 10 that really got my mind going and i cant thank damon enough for that. this solo stuff is like some of that old gorillaz stuff but without the air of 'taking the piss out of pop music' which obviously came across as a bit depressive and the sound was often really melancholy... as the years went on it got a bit more pop but you could still hear the creativity that shone through all of it and has kept my interest peaked since.

    • @Sam3532
      @Sam3532 10 років тому +6

      not that i realised at the time. listening back theres so much of the songs i missed even though i could identify something was really .. out there about this expression and that was inspiring for my true character

    Damon's shirt is weirdly loud when he moves

    • @rbthesunsetloner
      @rbthesunsetloner 8 років тому +4

      No it's just the microphone on his shirt. It's clipped on. It's used to catch the voice better. Lol. :-)

    • @peters5090
      @peters5090 7 років тому +7

    You go through videos that feature Damon Albarn and take note of the Like/Dislike ratio, it's like almost flawless every time.

    Is Damon mocking the American accent at 1:29? I'm not a native English speaker so I can't really tell hrjfnf

    I don't know who the guy interviewing Damon is, but he's really boring to listen to. If he's a really important person or something, ok, but his personality is boring in this context. They should have put someone else to interview him.

    the Blur guys are so boring , except in Live Forever, where Damon is interviewed extensively, but in that case they are basically taking the piss out of him, and its fun to watch.
