Article

The article I have chosen isn’t precisely a piece of news, but a music review. That’s because I’d like to work as a journalist related to music.

The article is about Damon Albarn’s first studio album, Everyday Robots, released April 25th.  Albarn is better known for being Blur and Gorillaz’s front man, and after more than twenty years of career, he has finally released his first solo album.

The review it’s favorable to the album, giving it four of five stars, and the writer stands out the honesty of the singer, who shows himself finally as he really is, and stop hiding himself behind false characters that he created in his Blur and Gorillaz’s songs.

The journalist talks about the record in a holistic way such as in particular. He first talks about the context of the disc, what it means to the artist and then makes a quick summary of the most important songs, for finish giving a global sense to the record. He stares at Hostiles, which he considers the best song of the album, with Lonely Press Play, The Selfish Giant and You and Me.

An album "Beautiful but subtle, cloudy and elusive" that despite the delicacy shows that Damon Albarn is a great artist as much with a band behind his back as by his own.

  1. Nice.

    One little mistake that I think you can identify is in this sentence: "and stop hiding himself behind false"

    Have a quick check.
