Proving that two heads are better than one, Bloc Party frontman-turned-solo-star Kele Okereke has enlisted the help of Years & Years main man Olly Alexander for new track ‘Grounds For Resentment’.

A surprisingly light, keyboard-led offering, it finds the pair offering up two different takes on a romance and is the latest offering from Kele’s forthcoming LP ‘Fatherland’ (due October 6).

What’s more, the singer’s also announced a string of tour dates for October. Truly, he’s spoiling us.

Listen to the track and check out the tour dates below.

October 16 - Deaf Institute, Manchester
October 17 - The Cluny 2, Tyne & Wear
October 18 - Saint Luke’s, Glasgow
October 20 - The Chapel, Leeds
