In the recent week there has been a great deal of press and hearsay regarding Kele Okereke, particularly surrounding a mischievous piece of journalism claiming Bloc Party have been auditioning new singers to take his place, a claim shot down by Okereke.
Anyhow, his new single- “What Did I Do” is the first set to be released from his new The Hunter EP. Taking Lucy Taylor onboard to assist in the way of vocal accompaniment. Retaining his typical electro driven sound as from his debut solo album; Boxer, but with an almost dub step element. On the down side, the single lacks Kele’s soulful voice, being replaced with Lucy Taylor’s incredibly chart pop sounding voice.
However, if Kele keeps churning out singles as good as this and his previous solo material, who cares about where the story of Bloc Party’s strange desire to take on a new front man came from?
