Kaiser Chiefs show you How 2 Dance
Almost two decades in the game, and an extensive back-catalogue of stadium belters, instrumental-prowess, and record-breaking success, Kaiser Chiefs triumphantly return. Right off the back of a storm of note-worthy live-performances, Kaiser Chiefs release their latest single: ‘How 2 Dance'; the first taste of their forthcoming new album which promises to not only see us through the end of this year, but launch fans into 2023 with impeccable swagger, and heritage songwriting.
2022 see’s Kaiser Chiefs stepping into a new spotlight; a hook-heightened universe in which Wilson (vocals), Andrew “Whitey” White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Keyboardist Peanut and Vijay Mistry on drums, come together to once again create what they craft best; breakthrough belters for the world’s dancefloor.
‘How 2 Dance’ is a euphoric masterclass in contemporary songwriting. Further leaning into their collaborative spirit, ‘How 2 Dance’ sees the band calling in Rudimental’s Amir Amor, in bid to create something beyond the traditional band structure. With additional album credits from Nile Rodgers and Lewis Thompson (David Guetta, Becky Hill), this is music for the people. An anthem for the everyday that simultaneously cements KC’s unparalleled reign on the indie-disco pedestal of the UK music scene, whilst demonstrating their future-thinking adaptability which keeps the spirit alive.
