this man is so important
It’s been wonderful watching him evolve from a cocky boy during Blur and Brit Pop days through to Gorillaz,. Love this! …and speaking as a 64 year old woman I haven’t seen someone rock a mullet as awesome as Damon’s! ❣️

Damon might be one of the purest musicians of this generation. It’s obvious.
I remember going in car rides with my dad when I was 5 listening to blur and other artists, never ever thought that to this day Damon would continue creating amazing masterpieces like these
He is so beautiful. All of him. He is cosmic, full, entire.

Who says that? Sure, people who listened to him while he was in Blur are like 35 now, but that's still not really old, and we all know he acquired a whole new audience with the success of the last few Gorillaz albums. I'd argue that most of his fans are tenegaers no matter what part of his career you look at because those are the people most willing to be absorbed by the experience of his music

lol my dad and I love him, my dad's around 60 and I'm currently still in high school. Damon can be appreciated by everyone.
The first time I heard this song was during Damon's performance at 'MIF' (Manchester International Festival) on July 12th of this year. It was the first concert/festival I had attended by myself. On the day of the said concert, I had travelled 4 hours from London to Manchester, so I was initially tired. However, as we neared the performance, the tiredness I once felt seemed to dissolve, replaced with an exceeding eagerness. So much so that I convinced my cousin and best friend to be at the venue an hour early. Of course, my enthusiasm had got the better of me as we were there too early, forced to sit in the deafening silence of the hall, waiting. I remember feeling an odd mix of nervousness and impatience, yearning for what was to come, keen to see Damon. The masses came pilling in, and the show began to start. There he was. The lights dimmed, the fog machine turned on, the ambience thick. Then, the music. A surge of adrenaline washed over me, intertwining with my very person, coursing through my veins in a flurry of emotion. The feeling, so real I could almost taste it. And it tasted sweet, like nectar, sent from the Gods. I indulged in it. My eyes were glued to the screen, unmoving as I took it all in. The musicians bathed in the blazing light, making them look almost ethereal as they poured out their hearts and showcased their talents. It was surreal. I felt effervescent. It was almost as if the pure awesomeness of the music had a bubbling physicality to it. My ears adapted a volcanic like quality, erupting from the magnificence of the sound. It was, most undeniably, one of the most monumental moments of my life. A memory that I will cherish forever. Even now, when I close my eyes, I can picture it all in its breathtaking glory.
Today is my birthday, this is the best surprise of all :D

I love how he always sticks his voice to the musical arrangement in such a loose way, like he's not just going side by side with the music, he's reading a love letter, paying tribute to it. 🎺🗯
When the sax hits 👌🏻
Escuché los cuatro primeros acordes y ya se siente venir la voz de Damon,...sublime Greetings from Chile.
Damon's voice is getting better and deeper
Damon, you have been a massive part of my life. Similar age, grew up in the same era and area you are fast becoming the new Bowie. This is absolutely tremendous.
La verdad es que la música de este hombre está haciendo la diferencia para mí en este año. No puedo esperar para escuchar todo el disco una y otra vez.
Always so expressive, so profound and unique. Thanks Damon for making our days better days.
Can’t wait for Royal Morning Blue to release. This song sounded so incredible on Glastonbury

He's a genius!! Damon Albarn is underrated.
Free of the shackles of record company interference and demands for main stream popularity, in Damon Albarn we have one of the truly great creatives of our time. Music as art. Can't wait to see him an MIF next week.
Since the 'Everyday Robots' album has helped me through a pretty rough time a few years ago, I'm so excited for a new chapter/ his new Album. It's so nostalgic for me to listen to, even tho this is a new song. ❤️

Dude, awesome, Damon nailed with this version of Polaris, really different in comparison from the original played in boiler room. I preferred the tone of the original, more calmed and sublime but either way I love this too, more happy and high but using the base of the original. Really good and I can't wait to hear the others. (Pd: sorry for my bad English)
Man has immense soul
Agree with the Pink Phantom, Damon Albarn is the greatest composer of his generation. This song is so beautiful, love the contradictions and paradoxes. Polaris.... I point myself towards the north star in the knowledge i'll never get there.
The most brilliant, insightful song of 2021.
Just how fantastic is this..!! To watch someone really be taken away by the music is nothing less than an ABRACADABRA moment; and thankfully enough, watching Damon perform anything; you’re/me are unbelievably lucky to witness it every time. Music is classless, if your ear likes it, it likes it. I’m 53, and I can’t tell you why I’ve only just started listening to his music, I just have: AND it’s monumentally BRILLIANT..!!
Damon eres genial!!!
Che dire...imbarazzante dire ci sei sempre Damon. "Sei sul pezzo'" come dicono a Roma. Aggiungo infinito sei tu e la tua Squadra ✨quanta bellezza. Grazie 💚
Wow mister Albarn what a great song you've made.
Estaba a punto de dormir pero no me perdiria esto ✨❤️

Damon Albarn es el David Bowie de nuestra generación, simplemente un genio, tan camaleónico.
Me alegra, haber descubierto a un músico tan talentoso como Damon. Él es increíble.
I have nothing to say other than wow this is really good.
2-D cantando como solista es de otro Mundo, tan solo cierren sus ojos e imaginen lo que acabo de escribir ✍🏻😍 Grande Damon!! 🙌🏻🙇🏻♂️
Music is music and Damon is a beautiful musician, regardless of genre, gender or popularity. He's a treasure, a legend and a jolly good egg. Never met the fucker, seen him over the years a few times. Keep going!
Great Damon... fantastic Singer ♥️♥️
I heard the first four chords and saw Damon's voice coming, sublime ... greetings from Chile
Genial el nivel compositivo. El pulso rítmico africano, las capas de teclado, los vientos, la línea melódica y la voz de Damon. Todo es demasiado genial🤩🤩🤩
