Kele - Trick

Pilerats
Originally Appeared In

Kele is finally releasing a follow-up to his debut solo album: Trick.. Last June when we ran a little music festival called CIRCO (video wrap HERE), and it gave us the pleasure of hanging out with one Kele Okereke. Notoriously quiet and humble, he was both of those things, but still super friendly and fun to hang out with. He rocked a slamming DJ set filled with mainly house bangers, his weapon of choice in recent years, especially under his solo guise of Kele. His debut album The Boxer was filled with some killer dance tracks, and we're really keen to see how he's developed that passion over the past few years into the follow up - Trick. Due October 10, Trick will be a different, sleeker beast, with a newfound emphasis on Okereke’s soulful vocals, at the crossroads of club history, old school soul and modern electronic R&B, with a distinctively British twist. Check the album teaser below, pre-order it HERE, and follow Kele on FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD for new stuff as it comes to hand.
