Damon Albarn may make new album with Noel Gallagher

Damon Albarn has announced that making a new album with former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher is a "distinct possibility" in future.

In a recent NME article, Albarn revealed that he and Gallagher have discussed the idea of making music together "at least once".

He said: "I still see Noel from time to time. We text a bit." When asked if the pair would be making a record together, he replied, "I can imagine that being a very distinct possibility at some point in the future. But, as yet we haven't really talked about it, although…"

Albarn further added that: "OK we have a little bit. We're talking. It's not anything to get excited about yet. I mean, he's doing his thing. He's finishing a new record. I've got my record coming out, but the principle of us making music together is something…you know, it would be fair to say, we have discussed it at least once."

Last year, the pair put two decades of Britpop rivalry behind them when they performed together at London's Royal Albert Hall for a charity Teenage Cancer Trust concert. Damon Albarn will release his debut solo album 'Everyday Robots' on April 28 2014.

Noel Gallagher would like to collaborate with Blur - Feb 2012

After the Brits, Noel Gallagher from Oasis would like to collaborate with Blur to record some tracks. Taken from an article from Metro.co.uk, Noel described Damon Albarn as "mad as a box of frogs".

The former Oasis guitarist, who has gone solo, told NME that he would prefer to work with Albarn rather than Radiohead's Thom Yorke. 

He said: 'If I was gonna make a record, it would be with Damon. For a start, he's as mad as a box of frogs. Number two, he'd get loads of hip-hop dudes working on it, which itself would be f***in mental. And number three? It would be a better record.'

He revealed that he made his peace with the Blur frontman recently after bumping into a club a few months ago. 

'It was quite a moment. We'd never been in the same room for maybe 10 or 15 years. And I always said to myself if I ever was, I'd go and say, 'F***ing hell, alright man?' and shake his hand and let bygones be bygones and all that.' 

He added: 'It was a great relief. I'm glad I've seen him and shook his hand and apologised for all that s***.' 

Asked if the feud between Oasis and Blur was finally over, Noel replied: 'Yeah. There  you go - that's over and done with now.' 

Looks like after Oasis's split, Noel is way over the feud of the Britpop superstars. Noel's always been the brother that was less public about the feud with Damon Albarn and Blur, so it's not a big surprise about what he says.


Noel is set to perform with Chris Martin from Coldplay in the Brit Awards. Damon Albarn and the band will also perform several tunes for the audience.
