Damon Albarn (Gorillaz & Blur) Part 2

On the season finale of season 1 of Influenced, we continue our discussion on Damon Albarn. We pick up right where part 1 left off as Gorillaz continue to pick up steam in the wake of Blur's early 2000's hiatus.  We discuss the newfound political energies that began to fuel Gorillaz creative output into the decade of the 2010's. We dive into the rather experimental music that Damon began exploring solo under his own name alongside peers like Brian Eno as well as his reunion and rekindling of  Blur.  The lasting legacy Damon's creativity has had an impressive impact on the music industry as to this day he is a sought after producer and collaborator across the musical spectrum working with an artistic roster as diverse as the Cure's Robert Smith, contemporary artists like Vince Staples, CHAI, and JPEGMAFIA, and even musical legends from decades past like Elton John, Lou Reed and Peter Hook. In this episode we finish our discussion on Damon and his long lasting career and wide arc of influence over the music industry.
