Kele Okereke announces new album with vibrant lead single "Jungle Bunny"

"Jungle Bunny" is Okereke's first single since releasing the Leave to Remain soundtrack earlier this year.

The track is vibrant, and sees the former Bloc Party vocalist taking hits at Kanye West in his lyrics, "He's gone full Ye / And he's starting to feel / That shit might pop off."

He later mentions living in Calabasas, where Kanye West and Kim Kardashian live, "You go home to / Your house in Calabasas / With your wife / And your kids / Safe in the knowledge / Of a gated street / Where life is sweet."

Speaking about the new single, Okereke says, "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. 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?"
