Damon Albarn: Music needs to be more political

It’s now necessary that artists take more political stances in their music, Damon Albarn said on BBC 6 Music, adding that's it's especially important now when it comes to Brexit, a landmark decision that Albarn considers “so depressing”. In opposition to political music he see "selfie music" which he considers "not sustainable". An important thing to do is travel - “If you physically see the bigger picture, not just the harsh edit of what something is, and you see the human side of what it actually is, you have such a different view”, NME reports.
