Producer William Orbit keeps hinting at new Blur material

William Orbit, producer of albums by Madonna and Blur, amongst many other musicians, keeps dropping hints on his facebook page about an upcoming Blur album.

He wrote on January 31st 2012:

Why does he keep mentioning Blur ? If nothing major was up, why keep posting and tweeting about it ? If it's a one off track like Fool's Day, Blur's comeback little song, then there's NO NEED to hire any producer, albeit an expensive, famous one.

Another fact: 2012 marks the 13th year since Blur recorded their album "13" (produced by William Orbit) in 1999. Coincidence ? We think not! It could be that Blur decided to surprise us by making another album, with the same producer as their 1999 album, hiring the same producer, for their comeback album.

It is quite likely that by hiring Orbit, such a renowned producer to work with them, Blur IS actually going to release something new. Blur was never a band who told us fans much before anything was going to happen, even for previous album titles, including their last album in 2003 titled "Think Tank".

Stay tuned on Blurballs and we'll keep you updated on anything happening. We can't wait!

Murdoc Niccals unleashes hype for new Gorillaz songs by twitter - 2012

Murdoc Niccals from the virtual band Gorillaz (fronted by Damon Albarn) has made three tweets yesterday afternoon about the fourthcoming Gorillaz converse track. Below is a screenshot from his twitter page:

Gorillaz announced back in November 2011 that they teamed up with shoe brand Converse and will release a new track and a new pair of Gorillaz designed converse shoes, exclusively for this collaboration.

Graham Coxon from Blur also worked together with Paloma Faith and Converse to produce a track, which can be watched below:




If the new Gorillaz track is as great as the one Graham Coxon did, then it's definitely going to be a great time for all fans out there. It's been a while since they released anything since Plastic Beach, and Damon Albarn has, on many occasions, said how he'd like to make this Gorillaz's last year as a band.

Blur's eighth album "Mirror Press" track list announced - 2012

BREAKING NEWS: The tracklist for britpop superstars Blur's new album "Mirror Press" is released on Wikipedia :

mirrorpress, blur mirror press, blur wiki, blur album new

So this is either the real-deal here, or it is someone messing around with information. Blur is supposedly set to produce new material this year, working with William Orbit in January to record and remix some new tracks, but Blur's Wikipedia page has been edited on and off these two days. 

Yesterday, the page for Blur's 2012 album, supposedly called "Mirror Press" has been put up, removed, added back and removed AGAIN from their discography. Now the tracklist for the album has been revealed and the song names are:
  1. Dog Years
  2. Mirror Press
  3. Just Look Around
  4. Nostalgic Song
  5. From a Silent Film
  6. Secret Den
  7. Insomnia
  8. Caster Song
  9. Fable
  10. Growing Nails
  11. On The Road Tonight
  12. Faster Life
  13. Room 101
It seems that some song names are quite unusual (Growing Nails ! ) but this COULD be true. There still hasn't been any confirmation or leakage from the band and their management, and there's no news from William Orbit himself. 

Visit their wikipedia site yourself to see (Click here).  (Edit: It has been removed again. This may just be someone's edit for fun).  

We are just as puzzled as you are - and we're on the watch out for any breaking news right now, this week, about Blur's potential new release. This year is going to be a great year for Blur and us fans and you're very welcome to contact us if anything crops up.

You heard it first on BlurBalls - keep watching this space for the latest updates and anything about their upcoming release (and any Brit Award news - yes Blur are playing!)
