Kele Okereke by Flore Diamant
It’s Kele Okereke’s sixth solo album.
Kele Okereke has confirmed the details of his new album The Flames pt. 2.
It’ll be released on March 24th next year, and is being previewed with a first single which looks at the healthy mindset of questioning preserved, accepted history.
“As a British born Nigerian, that debate has made me angry,” the Bloc Party frontman said of Vandal. “It has felt like for these last few years I have been carrying around a lot of that anger, so with ‘Vandal’ I felt I needed to put it somewhere useful.”
“There haven’t been many things that have made me feel proud to be British recently but watching those people in Bristol pulling down the Colston statue made me feel immensely proud.”
“It was ordinary people saying “no, this slaver does not represent my Britain”. It was an act of defiance that I understood and I suddenly got a glimpse of a Britain I could believe in.”
