Our Take

Kele's latest offering, 2042, is a smorgasbord of futuristic beats and nostalgic nods to the past. The Bloc Party frontman has crafted an album that is part time machine, part dance floor anthem – a sonic journey through the genres that have shaped his musical career.

From the pulsating synths of "Plastic Dreams" to the infectious hooks of "Cyber Love", Kele takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of love in the digital age. His distinctive vocals soar over intricate production, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Tracks like "Robot Romance" and "Mars Rover" showcase Kele's lyrical prowess, as he explores themes of isolation, technology, and the ever-evolving landscape of relationships. Each song is a mini-masterpiece, blending elements of pop, electronica, and indie rock with effortless precision.

2042 is a testament to Kele's ability to constantly reinvent himself while staying true to his roots. It's a bold, ambitious album that solidifies his status as a musical chameleon, effortlessly shifting between styles and sounds with ease. So grab your spacesuit and get ready to blast off into the future with Kele – this is one intergalactic ride you won't want to miss.
