New striking strokes

29 September 2024

Bloc Party‘s orchestrator KELE OKEREKE jumps from left
to right, from recording with his band to working on solo
projects.

Last year he released with BC a 4-track EP named The High Life
followed last June by a stand-alone single, called Flirting Again.

Last month he dropped a new funky solo single, titled Hometown Edge and here’s another fresh one. IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE is a bouncy, repetitive electro loop with
Kele articulating all over it. Listen below.

Kele: “Once the dust has settled, there might be the intention to be a grown up and achieve closure with the other party. But sometimes, even with the best will in the world, you can’t get past the fact that this person, who you once loved, has hurt you. It’s a song about anger concealed in pleasantries.”

He also confirmed that both songs will be on his new, 7th solo longplayer,
baptized The Singing Winds Pt. 3. It comes out next year, on January 17th.
