Blur To Debut New Songs On Twitter

Blur will unveil two new songs on Twitter via a worldwide live video stream on Monday.

The tracks, Under The Westway and The Puritan, have never been heard before and the Britpop icons wrote them especially for their upcoming sold-out Hyde Park concert on 12 August.

Fans can go to @blurofficialat 6:15pm tonight to hear the first track and an exclusive band interview, followed by the second track at 7:15pm.

Following the live stream, both songs will be available to download and a limited edition double-A 7-inch single will be released on 6 August.

Frontman Damon Albarn said: "I wrote these songs for Hyde Park and I’m really excited about getting out there and playing them for people.”

And Tony Wang, Twitter's UK General Manager, added: "People all over the world are connecting with the musicians they love on Twitter. Blur is taking this idea even further by debuting two new songs through a live stream and having a direct conversation with their fans on the platform. They know what their fans want and are setting the pace for the future of artist engagement online."
