He said: "He’s really great. He’s fantastic in the studio, you know, and it’s nice when you see how someone goes about their business, you know, and he’s great … There wasn’t any ice to break, no."
Asked if he contributed to the record or just did as he was asked, he added: "Well, I mean … it’s not orders, it’s more like kind of this is, you know, we agreed that this was how we were going to approach it."
And Jehnny Beth from Savages also provides backing vocals for the track and Albarn was thrilled to have her on board.
