Damon in a recent interview:
"I just wanted to make a pop song; I just wanted to get back on the radio. I was just fucked off no-one was playing me on the radio. When Melancholy Hill came out in England Radio One said ‘Oh no we are trying to keep our core audience under thirty’ and I was like well ‘fuck you then!,’ and radio two said ‘Oh no this is way to edgy for our over 30 audience’, so I found myself totally barred from radio and I was like, that’s not fair."
in essence, everyone who's said it's about the music industry is pretty spot on. it's a generic pop song, but I think it still stands out & is a lot better than the rest. funny thing is, people don't always pay attention to the lyrics, & I think Damon knows that so this song is pretty clever.
I love this. I COMPLETELY get it. BUT! i think Damon shouldn't have to sell out just to be played on the radio. I'M NOT CALLING HIM A SELL OUT!!!! Gorillaz is FARRR from sell out.

As a HUGE fan of Daley and Damon Albarn and his work, especially Gorillaz, it makes me sad to see them not get on the radios, and see Gorillaz go through (for lack of a better word) issues, and be helpless. Guess the only thing I can do is what Daley says, and dwnload them off iTunes :\

That's such a shame! I wish that he wouldn't go solo... I love the Gorillaz. /:
