Platinum selling duo Rizzle Kicks stormed the UK’s charts and hearts in 2011 with the release of their hit packed debut album “Stereo Typical”, made a welcome return with the release of their provocative new single ”Lost Generation” and album “Roaring ‘20s” which was released September 2nd.
This new record sees them cement their position as one of the most inspiring and refreshing acts to emerge from Britain in recent years.
Roaring 20s was mostly created in Shepherd's Bush, West London, in the tiny home studio of Stereo Typical producer Ant Whiting (British producer/song-writer/mixer whose career began with ground-breaking work on M.I.A's debut Anular).
The album opens with This Means War, a rumination on dismissive teachers and estate life rivalries, before launching into current single “Lost Generation”, on the one hand a glorious rousing pop song, on the other a bristling and incisive take on reality TV.
Other standouts include future single “Skip To The Good Bit” featuring the unmistakeable riff from EMF's “Unbelievable”, the Fatboy Slim-produced “Put Your 2's Up” - listen out for actor Dominic West sounding like he’s never sounded before, and “Lunatic”, featuring Jordan's mum on vocals.
“Roaring 20s” is a pin-sharp picture of life in your twenties which also reflects the historical Roaring 20s. The album title sprang from Jordan's obsession with the 1920s,
