Blur star Damon Albarn has suggested that he may release another Gorillaz album without long-time partner Jamie Hewlett.
Albarn had previously suggested that their may not be any more Gorillaz albums ever again, but then back-tracked on the comments. Now, he's suggested that he could put out a Gorillaz album without Hewlett, who dealt with the visual side of the band – meaning that there would be 'no change' to the music, but no cartoons.
Speaking to Shortlist, Albarn said: “It was very much Jamie [Hewlett] did the visuals and I did the music. The music won’t change, so there could be another Gorillaz record tomorrow. It wouldn’t necessarily have Murdoc - the cartoon aspect to it - but musically, no, nothing’s changed whatsoever.”
He continued: “Jamie wants to do other things and I understand. But you never know, in a few years he might have a burning desire to draw those pictures again, and as soon as he does that, as far as I’m concerned, there could be another Gorillaz album.”
