Trick
Bloc Party vocalist Kele Okereke’s second solo album represents an even more headlong dive into dance music than 2010’s The Boxer. On it, he’s swapped aggression for subtlety, embracing lush, seedy big-room house music.
The Bloc Party mainman provides his most revealing, starkly honest record yet via house, '90s garage and R&B.
On Trick, Kele remains one of the artists best equipped to bridge the still sizable gap between rock and dance.
Trick is more a straight rehash of '90s R&B than any kind of homage, and without the tunes to justify it.
