It Never Rains, But It Pours- A Tempest Mega Post


Soulja Boy can’t write like me, Michael Jackson can’t write at all like me, Rigid Beave can’t write like me…

I realise its been mass radio silence from me lately, I’d claim I have been busy, but in reality I’ve been drunk and lazy, often both.

Tiesto and Kele Okereke

Something a little different for you here, but very enjoyable. Fans of Bloc Party will be familiar with Kele, and here we’ve got something pretty decent with him and Tiesto. This actually leaked a little while back, but I’ve only just come across it.

It’s a very Bloc Party-esque production, and hence doesn’t really pull Kele too far out of his comfort zone. It’s a really likeable track, and has similarities to some of Bloc Party’s earlier (and better) material. For someone like Tiesto, it’s not too ‘trancey’ at all, which is something I’m certainly happy about. It’s got that mix between being uptempo and quite sombre at the same time which is hard to pull off, but when done correctly, as it is here, it sounds great.

A very good collaboration here, and definitely worth picking up for fans of any genre.
