Blur`s Britishness is greatly exaggerated in their sound and overly in yer face, but I guess they could appeal to listeners not used to that accent. Damon Albarn`s vocal chords are probably better suited to selling fruit and vegetables on a London market stall than in the studio. When it comes to that very British singing style, Ray Davies and even Jimmy Pursey did it so much better, two obvious influences on Damon Albarn.
