We will sing the praises and songs of Damon Albarn\u00a0<\/strong>(Blur, The Good, the Bad & The Queen<\/strong>, and Gorillaz<\/strong>) until the cowz come home.\u00a0 Albarn<\/strong> is one of our best living songwriters and is still delivering the song goods after nearly 25 years of honing his craft.\u00a0 We recently stumbled upon two particularly charming Gorillaz<\/strong> performances in 2010 for BBC Radio 1 <\/strong> that feature Albarn’s<\/strong> evocative vocalisms.\u00a0 Check out Albarn<\/strong> and the boys performing On Melancholy Hill<\/strong><\/em>, followed by a fine cover of The xx’s Crystalized<\/em><\/strong> with singer Daley<\/strong> adding vocals behind Albarn.\u00a0 Superb sounds once again from Damon Albarn.<\/p>\n
