Damon Albarn

Yes, we’ve spent some time together in my recording studio. It’s Damon’s project so I’ll leave it to him to do the revealing, which is what I asked of the collaborators on my two Electronica albums. I wanted as much as possible for it to be a surprise, like it would have been in the ‘70s or ‘80s before the internet made it impossible to keep anything secret.   What I will say is that I was very happy to work with such a great, great artist. He’s such a unique, eclectic animal. To go from Blur to Chinese opera to Malian music and do them all so well takes a special talent. On top of that, he’s also a really nice guy. If the collaboration comes to light – and you never know with these things – it will I think be quite special.
