Kele releases new single ‘Someone To Make Me Laugh’
His new album ‘The Flames Pt. 2’ is out next month.
Ahead of the release of his new album ‘The Flames Pt. 2’ on 24th March via KOLA Records / !K7, Kele is sharing his latest single ‘Someone To Make Me Laugh’.
“In its simplest form it’s about looking back at one’s life and trying to fight the cynicism that seems to be taking hold,” Kele explains. “Although the song is mined from painful memories, ultimately it is about combating loneliness in one’s life.”
Speaking about the forthcoming record, he adds, “Fire is powerful, it is both creation and destruction and I wanted that tension to somehow be reflected in the music, the sound of being consumed by our desires, of feelings burning so intensely that they literally burn out. “Like ‘The Waves’ it was important that all the sounds of the record were made by my electric guitar. Writing and recording a record within these parameters has forced me to become more creative as a musician, from the looped ambient textures to the brittle drum machine rhythms. it’s all made by my guitar and my loop pedals, and that’s how it will be performed.”
