For all of Kele Okereke's recent dabblings into the world of dance - both on his debut solo album and the more recent Bloc Party records - seeing him collaborate with Martin Solveig is not something I expected. The results are rather spectacular though.
Ready 2 Go is a fist-pumping bit of Daft Punk styled electro-house; a fizzy vocodered backbeat underpinning a classic Kele vocal. More poppy than we'd normally expect from the indie supremo, it's rather charming to see him deliver something that at times sounds like it's going to meld seamlessly into David Guetta and Kelly Rowland's When Love Takes Over.
You only need to look at the super-success of Solveig's previous single Hello to see how attuned the producer is to what works in a hit club track (as well as his skill at picking collaborators to vocal his tracks).
At this time of year, all the big dance hits of the summer are coming out in force and Ready 2 Go is easily up there with the best of them.
Ready 2 Go is released on the 26th June.
