Kele Okereke is working the media, however he is not a media fan because he believes that they paint a wrong picture and it makes his fans believe he is someone else. Of course it is hard to express your genuine character through words by someone else but the only solution to that is to be open about yourself or not give interviews at all. The latter is not an option as this is Kele's first solo album and promotion is needed. Bloc Party may be very succesful but not everybody is familiar with the lead singer himself, apart from the alternative gay world. XXXChange is the overall producer but I can hear some influences by Tiësto who may have had something to do with is as Kele did some vocals for him recently. There is a Death From Above edge to it as well which is the most enjoyable part of it to my opinion.
Kele // The other sideDelorean is a open-minded pop group from Basque, Spain and have been around for a couple of years. Better known through their remixes, but the album does deserve to get played too. It is an ideal summer album full with African drums and whispering Hawaiian dresses. They have a large fan base in Canada, America and Australia. They were on the cover of XLR8 magazine, so they'll be touring Europe soon after that is my guess.
