Kele Okereke, frontman of Bloc Party, will release his second solo album later this year.
On October 13th, Okereke is to follow 2010’s ‘The Boxer‘ with ‘Trick‘ – released through his own Lilac Records label in conjunction with Kobalt Label Services. The tracklist and artwork (pic) have also been unveiled.
Okereke returned to Bloc Party after his first solo record to work on the ‘Four‘ LP of 2012, but spoke of the band’s uncertain future during an interview with The Guardian soon after.
“There have been some things going on behind the stages and now we’re working our way through it,” he said. “Being in this band isn’t always the easiest thing. We’re four British young men that maybe aren’t the best at expressing ourselves or our emotions.”
‘Trick’ tracklist:
‘First Impressions’
‘Coasting’
‘Doubt’
‘Closer’
‘Like We Used To’
‘Humour Me’
‘Year Zero’
‘My Hotel Room’
