Bloc Party have teamed up with KennyHoopla for their first collaborative single.
Keep It Rolling marries post-punk guitars with dance grooves and marks the second in a series of singles from the British band, following High Life. Frontman Kele Okereke said:
"I’ve been a fan of Kenny's for a while now, so when he came to London I jumped at the chance of getting in the studio together. We wrote a bunch of songs in one afternoon and Keep It Rolling was one of those ideas. I always felt quite attached to that idea so I decided I would like to bring it to Bloc Party, so we turned it into a song. It was all very organic."
On working with Bloc Party, KennyHoopla added: "I’ve always been a huge Bloc Party fan so this was a bucket list collab for me. I hardly do any features, so if I do one, it’s always for family. I’m happy to call Kele a friend and it was amazing to get to do a song together."
Bloc Party are currently midway through a world tour with Paramore, which continues tonight (June 2) in Washington D.C.
