Blur

In April 2015, Blur released *The Magic Whip*, marking their first studio album in over 12 years. This album was a significant milestone for the band, reflecting a comeback after their 2003 release, *Think Tank*. The live performance of "Ong Ong" at Zénith in Paris on June 15, 2015, showcased not just their poignant musical evolution, but also how they’d redefined their sound while staying true to their Britpop roots. What’s particularly enthralling is how *The Magic Whip* was actually born out of improvisation during a short trip to Hong Kong, which adds a layer of unexpected creativity to their work. This show was part of a larger tour celebrating this album, and it emphasized Blur’s ability to capture an audience with raw energy and melodic charm, proving they're ever relevant in today's music scene.
