Bloc Party‘s voice/face/songwriter KELE OKEREKE launched his
7th solo longplayer today, named THE SINGING WINDS PT. 3.
DIY: “As an exercise, a flexing of musical muscles, ‘The Singing Winds pt. 3’
is interesting enough so long as you’re only seeking bops as a bonus.”
TUTV: On his solo work Kele sounds like a Bloc Party Light. His trippy cocktail of ambient, trip-hop and guitar pop is entertaining with several bouncy tracks but misses some peppy punches and stand-out tunes. The three best pieces are the singles (listen/watch below). On the other hand, Kele‘s guitar play is (again) sterling, elaborate, and sparkly and his light-toned vocals are as euphonious as ever.
Singles: Hometown Edge / It Wasn’t Meant To Be / Kintsugi
