Kele To Release New Single & Announces London Headline Gig
Tuesday, 20 July 2010
Written by Nigel Sachdev
Bloc Party frontman, gone solo, Kele Okereke has announced details of his new single, 'Everything You Wanted', along with a headline show at the Electric Ballroom in London on November 19th.
Kele has emerged fighting fit with his incredible, critically acclaimed debut album 'The Boxer', a joyous mixture of bouncing electronic dancefloor beats and songwriting that's both celebratory and sensitively confessional. It has completely turned ghettoised indie-boy pre-conceptions of who Kele is and what he represents on their head.
Second single 'Everything You Wanted', out August 16th, mixes Kele's more romantic, introspective side with pulsating electro beats, a haunting metronomic piano and an soaring chorus which combine to deliver a heavyweight emotional punch, landing in a wonderfully unique place somewhere between and Orbital and Arcade Fire. The polar opposite of 'Tenderoni' in tempo but still as joyously affecting and undeniably Kele.
As well as performing at this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals, Kele will play:
November 19th 2010 - London Electric Ballroom
