Hear Bloc Party tap KennyHoopla for sublime new single “Keep It Rolling”

Bloc Party have enlisted rising punk star KennyHoopla for their new single “Keep It Rolling,” which marks their first-ever collaboration with another artist.

“I’ve been a fan of Kenny’s for a while now, so when he came to London, I jumped at the chance of getting in the studio together,” Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke says. “We wrote a bunch of songs in one afternoon, and ‘Keep It Rolling’ was one of those ideas. I always felt quite attached to that idea, so I decided I would like to bring it to Bloc Party, [and] we turned it into a song. It was all very organic.”

“I’ve always been a huge Bloc Party fan, so this was a bucket list collab for me. I hardly do any features, so if I do one, it’s always for family. I’m happy to call Kele a friend, and it was amazing to get to do a song together,” KennyHoopla adds.
