Kele Okereke has premiered his new album Trick.
Trick - the 'Tenderoni' singer's first solo album since 2010's The Boxer - is streaming via The Guardian ahead of its release next week.
Having worked with the likes of Martin Solveig, RAC and Hercules & Love Affair, the Bloc Party frontman told Billboard: "Four [Bloc Party's 2012 album] was a very abrasive rock album.
"I felt that I needed something that was the complete opposite of that, sonically and emotionally. I felt that it needed to be something a lot more intimate and immersive."
Describing the recording process, he added: "The process of hearing those sounds at 5am in clubs started to bleed into what I was making.
"Even though this record is a solo record, I was still having people's input. It wasn't like I was locked in a basement, making music all by myself."
Trick is scheduled to be released this Monday (October 13).
