Damon Albarn 'concentrating on Gorillaz'

Damon Albarn is currently too busy to work on a Blur comeback album, grime artist Kano has claimed.

Kano, 23, confirmed that Albarn plans to concentrate on the third Gorillaz LP before considering whether to produce new material for the reunited band.

"I went into the studio with Damon a while ago," Kano told the Daily Star. "We worked on a demo idea that he came up with in Lagos in Africa.

"We went back and actually produced the idea. It just so happened that I added a little bit on a couple of tracks he gave me. It's all sounding good."

"The album's not wrapped up yet," he continued. "I think the process Damon goes through is that he makes loads of demos, then cuts them down and starts getting into the production. He's at that stage now where he's finishing off the record."

Blur announced last December that they were reuniting for a new tour. However, the band have yet to commit to releasing new music in the future.
