Kele Okereke shares new track ‘Do U Right’

Apparently it started life as a track for a DJ Koze compilation…

Kele Okereke shares new track ‘Do U Right’

Kele Okereke of Bloc Party is currently gearing up to release his brand new solo album ‘Fatherland’, which is due out on 6th October.

A couple of weeks back he shared ‘Grounds For Resentment’, featuring Olly Alexander of Years & Years, and now he’s back with another new cut. It’s a laid-back, guitar-led track with an added bit of funked-up brass.

Speaking of the track, Kele said: “Do U Right started as a song for a DJ Koze compilation. I didn’t get a chance to finish it in time but I knew the song was promising so I kept it for my own album where it mutated and turned into this greasy Stax-style romp.”

Kele’s also off on a tour of the UK in October, where he’ll be taking his new album around the country. Tickets are on sale now.
