The Narcissist - Blur - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Narcissist" is a track by the English rock band Blur, released on May 18, 2023, as the lead single from their ninth album, The Ballad of Darren. It was written by band members Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree, and produced by James Ford. Propelled forward by a relentless motorik drum beat and guitarist Graham Coxon's subtle yet tasteful guitar strokes, "The Narcissist" finds Blur frontman Damon Albarn delving deep into themes of self-obsession and addiction, specifically the addiction to one's own image. Chart-wise, the song found moderate success. In its home turf, the UK, it peaked at number 81 on the UK Singles Chart in June 2023. This feat made it the band's first chart entry since "Under the Westway" back in 2012. Across the pond in the US, "The Narcissist" made waves by landing on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart at number 37 on June 10, 2023. This entry broke a twenty-year hiatus for Blur, marking a record for the longest duration between chart entries for any band in its history.
