Kele has announced his new album ‘2042’, previewed with new single ‘Jungle Bunny’.
“There is a history of black entertainers feeling that after they have achieved a certain level of success that they are above discussions of race but that idea is a delusion,” Kele says.
“As a person of colour living in the western world, it does not matter how much wealth one accumulates, race will follow you wherever you go. With JUNGLE BUNNY I wanted explore this idea: In a time of such rampant division and public racism, what is the responsibility of the black entertainer?”
His fourth solo record, the full-length is due on 8th November via his own KOLA Records, in association with !K7.
