Blur star Damon Albarn has revealed that he’s working on a new solo album, following the release of ‘Dr Dee’.
The star has been a prominent figure in the press recently – there’s been rumours that he was absolutely finished with Blur and Gorillaz, and stories that there could be more albums from either band too. But, now Albarn has told BBC Radio 4 that a new solo record is next for him – and it will be released under his own name.
He told the station: “This week we're mucking around with these Russian synthesizers in a very loose mind of doing some kind of record under my name. I suppose you could call it a solo record, but I don't like that word. It sounds very lonely - solo. I don't really want to be solo in my life. But yeah, I'm making another record.”
He went on to talk about Blur’s up and coming gig alongside New Order and The Specials, which will act as the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
“The corporate side [of the Olympics] I find a bit depressing. There's too much of it. A lot of people see it differently. We're putting on another celebration for the official closure of the Olympic Games. But we're putting it on for London and people who hopefully want to sing their hearts out in a park. I'm signed up to the idea of regeneration in London and putting on a good account of ourselves; definitely.”
