Blur’s latest resurgence came crashing down at Coachella 2024, where the reunited quartet encountered an audience indifferent and ignorant to the very notion of Britpop.

Its simple lime green artwork became a meme, while fans on social media have embraced the record’s hedonistic aesthetic and attitude.

You won't…

Gué's collaborations. Or Gué Pequeno. Over the years the stage name has changed, but not the attitude of Cosimo Fini (this is the artist's real name) to collaborations. We tried to transform this feeling into numbers and, net of the songs with Club Dogo and to those of the disk with Marrakeshwe've come up with a list of 32 songs in which Gué is feat. (or at least not the main artist) who, over the years, have contributed to raising him to the Olympus of the most certified Italian singers in the FIMI era. We remind you that, in different…
