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).
