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.”KennyHoopla added: “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.”Listen to ‘Keep It Rolling’ below.Bloc Party are currently on a worldwide tour with pop-punk veterans Paramore.
