Earlier this month, we announced that the debut solo album from Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, The Boxer, will be released in June, preceded by the single “Tenderoni.” At that time, Okereke — who has parted with both his former band and last name — hinted that the record would showcase his dance music influences (not to mention he’s cuddling a sampler in the promo pic). Well, the track hit the Internets today, and I’d say this jam will almost certainly be more welcome at dance clubs than rock clubs.
It takes about a minute to get cooking, but the buildup is well-worth the wait. Stream Kele’s “Tenderoni” below (via SKOA):
