Fresh from supporting Paramore on their brilliant UK tour, Bloc Party have unveiled a brand-new single.

Entitled Keep It Rolling, the track – for the first time ever – features a special guest joining the band in the studio: KennyHoopla.

“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,” says Kele Okereke. “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, so 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,” adds Kenny. “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.”
