Kele Okereke has shared more from his next solo album, which is entitled 2042 and due for release on November 8th.
Between Me And My Maker follows on from lead single and opening track Jungle Bunny, of which Okereke said: “There is a history of black entertainers feeling that after they have achieved a certain level of success that they are above discussions of race but that idea is a delusion.”
“As a person of colour living in the western world, it does not matter how much wealth one accumulates, race will follow you wherever you go.”
“With Jungle Bunny I wanted explore this idea: In a time of such rampant division and public racism, what is the responsibility of the black entertainer?”
