Collaboration with [[Terry Hall (singer)|Terry Hall]] during 1994–2003:&nbsp; Having cited Hall as one of his early influences very often, Albarn and Hall went on and held a friendship for many years. They collaborated for multiple times including ''[https://www.discogs.com/release/1643738-Terry-Hall-Rainbows-EP The Rainbows EP]'', in which Albarn co-wrote lead track "Chasing A Rainbow" with Hall. Later in Hall’s second solo album [[Laugh (Terry Hall album)|''Laugh'']] released in 1997, the two co-wrote "For The Girl" and "A Room Full Of Nothing".

In 2003, Albarn worked with the [[garage rock]] band [[the Strokes]] on their album ''[[Room on Fire]]''. Producer [[Gordon Raphael]] claims that Albarn was experimenting with backing vocals on the record. In the end, however, Albarn's contributions did not make the record. "Well, I guess the songs are just perfect the way they are," Albarn stated.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-strokes-378-1381559|title=Strokes and Damon Record Together|date=16 October 2003|work=NME|access-date=7 January 2018|archive-date=8 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180108063422/http://www.nme.com/news/music/the-strokes-378-1381559|url-status=live}}</ref> In the same year he performed "[[Fashion (David Bowie song)|Fashion]]" live with [[David Bowie]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Damon Albarn's missed David Bowie opportunity |date=19 November 2021 |url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/damon-albarn-regret-david-bowie/ |publisher=Far Out Magazine |access-date=1 October 2022 |archive-date=1 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221001191517/https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/damon-albarn-regret-david-bowie/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
