Watch: Kele Okereke Sings, Discusses New Album 'The Boxer'

In a new interview with Death & Taxes, Kele Okereke discusses how he developed his new solo album The Boxer.

"I'm not really into boxing, per se, as a sport. I think watching people fight for sport is gross, it's like fox hunting or something. But I do like the idea though, as a boxer you have to rely on nobody else but yourself to get something done. You have to summon the energy and strength from inside yourself. Even though you're being knocked down. Even though it's hard. You have to keep going..."

Watch: Kele Okereke of Bloc Party's New Video for 'Tenderoni'

Bloc Party's Kele Okereke is out with a new solo album and a brand new single "Tenderoni", the video for which has popped up online.

Arjan Writes: "While taking time off from Bloc Party, Kele took the opportunity to book his own studio time to explore new sounds, 'I plugged in synths with no idea what they would do. It was completely back to the drawing board. It was exciting and terrifying,' he explains in a press releases. 'The key for the sound of the record was to take things as harsh and as physical as I could make them. These are the sounds that make me happiest in the world.'"

Okereke recently told XFM why he recently shaved his head: "I was doing a Britney. I'd had enough and I needed to start again. I was having a meltdown. I was attacking photographers with my umbrella and not being so good to myself."

Love has different degrees, from genuine affection to the unattainable thing we aspire to of absolute love. It doesn't come often but if you don't have other elements in your life in place you can't have love, so that's why I am focusing on my career.

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke says the band's next record will be more introspective: "I think with this third record, its very much going to be a record about interior spaces. If 'Weekend In the City' was me complaining about going out and getting f***ed up, I think this is going to be a very intimate record about staying in and discovering aspects of yourself. And not in a grown-up, Coldplay/Snow Patrol way. "[It's to be about] human relationships, on a real kind of primal level. What it means to feel desire and what it means to actually feel close to someone, or what it feels to feel lament -- the passing of closeness between people. It's very much going to be a record about internal relationships."

Bloc Party Security Says "Hey You" Before Headlocking Madonna

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke told the Chicago Tribune that the thing that surprised him most about playing the recent Live Earth 2007 was that "super-huge fan" Madonna came to see them in their dressing room. Unfortunately, the trip to meet the band didn't turn out so well for Madge.

Said Okereke: "Our tour manager is this guy from Scotland that doesn't know much about popular culture and popular music. So when she came in, he alerted security and security dragged her out. They had her head in a headlock, and they were putting her out of the dressing room. It was really surreal, and everyone stopped speaking. And the only thing we could hear is Madonna cursing and saying she's gonna kill these guys. Yeah. She's really tough because of all that pilates that she does. She [got out] of the headlock quite easily. And some of her people came along and told the security guards off, but she was so pissed off at that point that [when] I went to tell her that I was a huge fan of hers she completely freaked out and told me to get the hell away from her. And that was all in the space of like 10 minutes backstage at Live Earth."
