Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke is punching well above his weight on his debut solo album, 'The Boxer' - it firmly establishes him as a bold and genuinely thrilling artist in his own right.
When Bloc Party went into hiatus, their enigmatic front man Kele Okereke took the opportunity to book some solo studio time and let his creative impulses run free...
The resulting album, entitled 'The Boxer', pushes the boundaries of pop & electronica and firmly establishes Kele as a bold plus genuinely thrilling artist in his own right. "The key for the sound of the record," says Kele "...was to take things as harsh and as physical as I could make it. The reason for going there was that these are the sounds that make me the happiest in the world."
With influences ranging from Gary Numan & Adam Ant to Michael Jackson, Kele has made a wild + fearless album marked by both its ambition and its sense of the new.
'The Boxer' was recorded in New York with Brooklyn-based bedroom production prodigy XXXchange.
