mit seinem solo-debütalbum *the boxer* brach bloc party-sänger kele okereke vor vier jahren endgültig aus dem rock-korsett seiner stammband aus und katapultierte sich direkt auf die tanzflächen der clubs. mit dem auf lilac records/kobalt label services erscheinendem neuen album *trick* geht kele noch einen schritt weiter. die songs sind geschmeidiger, souliger, einfach deeper. der fokus liegt unter anderem auf keles einzigartiger stimme. kele okereke gelingt es auf dem in london und new york city aufgenommenem album, äußerst persönliches songwriting in einen clubmusik-kontext zu bringen. *trick* verneigt sich vor der geschichte der clubmusik und vermengt old schooligen soul mit modernen, elektronischen r&b. und das alles mit urbritischer nonchalance.
