We mentioned that a new project was in the works for Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke last fall, and now here it is: Okereke dropped his last name for the release of his first solo album, The Boxer, due out on June 21, NME reports. The record, which was produced primarily by XXXChange, will be preceded by the single “Tenderoni” one week prior to its release.
So will The Boxer sound like Bloc Party? Not exactly: “I’ve said from the beginning I’m into dance,” Okereke told NME in their new issue, “it gets me excited and I think this record is going to go some way to prove that to people, hopefully.”
