Damon Albarn reveals that Blur album may never be released

After mentioning in interviews earlier in the year that Blur had recorded 15 songs, Blur's Damon Albarn has revealed in an interview with NME that a record with any of those songs on it will be unlikely to ever come out. The biggest factor in Albarn's putting off the record indefinitely was his inability to write lyrics whi;e the band was recording in Hong Kong.

Albarn's full quote on the issue: "There are about 15 songs we recorded in Hong Kong. The annoying thing is, if I'd been able to write the lyrics there and then about being there, we'd have finished the record. But sometimes, if you can't do it all at once, it dissipates really and I don't know what I'd sing about now with that record. There's some great tunes on there, but it may just be one of those records that never comes out...
I'd do some more work on it. I like making records in short periods of time if I can. It was a different process with 'Everyday Robots' because that was really thought out, but sometimes it's great to get some amazing energy and do something in 10 days. There was too much commuting between where we were staying and where we were recording and it was a bit too hot. I think that's why we didn't get it finished."
