Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke announces new solo album, new song “Streets Been Talkin’”

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Kele Okereke, frontman of the British indie-rock band Bloc Party, has announced Fatherland, his third solo album. It will be released on October 6 and feature contributions from Corinne Bailey Rae and Olly Alexander of the electronica band Years & Years. Unsurprisingly, given the title, this is the first album Okereke has recorded since becoming a dad in 2016 and the event has shaped his new songs. In contrast to the chilly electronic pop of his last solo effort, 2014’s Trick, Okereke names the likes of Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, and Al Green as chief among Fatherland’s influences.
