I'm so pissed off that in EVERY bloc party or kele vid on youtube there's someone talking about kele's sexuality. Can't we just get over it and just enjoy the music like he intended us to do?
hes gay but who cares? If you have a problem with his sexual orientation then dont listen to his music, plain and simple. kele and bloc party doesnt need you to still make amazing music.
I don't believe he's bi I think he's just trying to make a point that sexual preference doesn't matter. I don't particularly like gays but he's still my favorite author and bloc party will always be my favorite band
@ThadKs You don't even undestand why I put that comment right ??? I put it cause he doesn't need to left Bloc Party to do this kind of music and yes I know this isn't Bloc Party obviously !!! but you are the silly one who doesn't belive that Bloc Party is going to get together again but sorry man I belive so... FUCK OFF !!!
This is the only song of his solo stuff which I think is more than just "meh". The reason why this is good is that it is SOOOOOO Bloc Party. He needs to get out of the gym and back with the boys, he can bring his electro feel to the table, sure, but he needs the rest of the gang to bring him back down to Earth. Kele we know you loved the rave scene in the 90's but that was a while ago mate.
it's not bad at all, it's a lot like bloc party, which is normal of course. But I still die for bloc party and think that Kele solo is just ok, it's good. It's defenitely more pop and little cheesy, but bloc party had some pretty cheesy songs too, it was kind of one of their things, for some reason it shows more in Kele's solo album
You can't relate to having the deepest feeling of love for another person being spurned like it was nothing?
With this song, that IS all you need to understand to "relate and stuff". The best songs are the one's that allow you to see the song through the eyes of your own life, not the artist's. This is one of them, so do try again?
holyyyy moley, he's amazing. everything is a new challenge & test for kele. he always pushes himself to try new things & never fails to produce 100%. kele okereke is an incredible, incredible talent. no matter what he does, he does it brilliantly.
bloc party ist sooo gut... ich liebe sie. ich hab mich in sie verliebt, als sie anfingen und ixh hab mich wieder in sie verliebt, als sie neuanfingen. ich mochte silent alarm unheimlich gern. meiner meinung nach das beste album, dass je aufgenommen wurde. bloc party haben sich immer weiter verändert. one week in the city bis intimacy bis one more chance bis keles soloalbum...
Is that Matt drumming? I can't tell because he doesn't have glasses on. If he is drummin then maybe there is hope for a new bloc party album next year.
I saw him live just the other day and it was amazing to see him as happy as he was on stage just having fun & dancing up a storm :).
it was nice, bloc party is just a bit more serious to be as layed back as he was(I fucking love bloc party) so its good to see him enjoying his own SOLO project which should stop being associate with bloc party cause if it was meant to be it would have been a bloc party album.
First heard this on X FM Manchester and they only play real music,loved it first time around and they played 2 days ago I was buzzin coz I didn't know who it was,now I do i'll be down to HMV to buy CD XXXXXXXXXXX Love it sooooooooooooo much :)))))))))
I've seen al lot of nasty comments about The Boxer. This song is far not as good as his Bloc Party songs (SA, AWITC, I don't like Intimacy) , though I think this is a great song. Nothing wrong with this one. I Think this song is better than a lot of songs on Intimacy...
@jamesvalleri i realise that it's a badly worded but that's what i was trying to say. i'm just sick of people getting so fixated on Kele's sexuality just listen to the music, that's what matters most!
@lancsno1 i'm not putting up there with Lennon, Townsend etc. i'm aware that he and Bloc Party are far from that good! I was just using the term colloquially as in just someone who's of worth in the world of music.
In some way it's kinda sad, that 'Everything you wanted' - In my eyes the best track on The Boxer - it so epic and catchy due to the fact that the composition, lyrics, atmosphere of the song is sooooooo Bloc Party. The Boxer is a decent album, but in some way Kele has lowerd on this album his own limits by chosing cheesy synth and easy dancefloor fillers, such a same. I want Bloc Party back!! And in a hurry!
@25tesss Bloc Party is the band of the decade. They were due for a break. Maybe this lay off will make them better in the long term. This is however a great solo album. He is a great songwriter and has kept the edge that BP has shown since 05.
@25tesss i understand what you're saying, i think this song is the best on the album aswell, but i'd say the synths are neither cheesy or easy, they're actually top quality 'beats.' Especially the end of "walk tall", that shit is intense! Rather than lowering his limits i think it shows just how brilliant and diverse a musician he is; he is able to write incredibly meaningful lyrics and make brilliant songs like this, while also making some incredible beats which would go down great in any club.
See where he sings the lyrics "Everything you wanted" replace them with "It's not the things you say" Lol. It's the same melody as his song with Tiesto.
