Barât once said he’d never find another songwriting partner like Doherty. Was he right? “I think it’d still be true now,” he says.
“Ermmm,” Doherty says. Another loud exhalation. “You want the honest answer?” Yes, please. “Maybe I’m not thinking it when I write the song, but the first thing I think afterwards is, ‘I wonder what Carl will think of that?’, whoever I’m writing the song with. The honest answer is, everything I write is for Carl.”

Pete Doherty interview for The New Cue, 26 Feb 2024 [X]:
I did an interview in France the other day and when he was setting up his iPhone to record me, this French journalist, I saw a little list and it was times and dates and names of the people he’d recorded and he’d interviewed Damon Albarn a couple of weeks before. I was like, ‘Let’s have a listen!’ He was like, ‘No, no, it’s against journalistic ethics…’ I went, ‘Come on, let’s have a listen!’ So we had a little listen and there was one question he asked him about how he decides which song he uses for Blur and which song he uses for Gorillaz, which I thought was a good question. The answer’s great. He says he’s got a do-it-yourself chemical litmus test set. He makes a special potion and he dips the song, a USB or an MP3 with it on, into it and if the potion turns a certain colour, he uses it for Blur. Which doesn’t answer your question, but it’s quite a funny anecdote.
