In 1995, Blur released The Great Escape, an album that not only marked the height of the Britpop movement but also reflected the cultural and musical shifts of Britain in the mid-90s. Coming at the peak of their rivalry with Oasis in the infamous "Battle of Britpop," the album saw Blur pushing beyond traditional Britpop boundaries, incorporating lush orchestration, genre experimentation, and character-driven storytelling.
