‘Girls & Boys‘ by BLUR

It was the lead single of their, third, triumphant album Parklife. After being released on
7 March 1994, 25 years ago today, it reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart. Frontman and songwriter Damon Albarn wrote it after a holiday in Spain with his then-girlfriend Justine Frischmann. According to Albarn, the city had “really tacky Essex nightclubs. All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then just copulating. There’s no morality involved, I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t happen.”

“Love in the ’90s is paranoid
On sunny beaches…”

Happy 50 to DAMON ALBARN. Born in London on 23 March 1968 this musical centipede is most famous as the frontman of Britpop legends BLUR and singer/songwriter of virtual band GORILLAZ . But as a 24/7 musician he did far more than being a legendary pop star. He collaborated with countless artists, from African roots artists to sixties icon Marianne Faithfull, from writing musicals to forming a band with The Clash bassist Paul Simonon.
