Kele unveils love letter to "the black girls of London" in new cut "Guava Rubicon"
Kele has previewed his forthcoming album 2042 with new cut "Guava Rubicon", a love letter to "the black girls of London".
"Guava Rubicon" is the third single to be shared from 2042, after "Between Me and My Maker" and lead single "Jungle Bunny".
Speaking to The FADER about the new offering, Kele says, "I named this song "Guava Rubicon" after my favourite soft drink but this song is a love letter to my favourite type of girls in the world; the black girls of London. The black woman is the most maligned figure in today's society and I wanted to make something that celebrated her smarts, her sexiness, and her magic."
He adds, "This video will always be beautiful for me as its simply two woman of colour who are in love, no tricks, no gimmicks, just love. Sadly this is a dynamic that I rarely see in represented in popular culture, so I wanted to represent as best I could."
2042 will be Kele's first release since his Leave to Remain soundtrack earlier this year.
