August 30th 2024.
After a long hiatus of ten years, Rizzle Kicks, the beloved British duo, is finally making a comeback. Fans of the chart-topping group can rejoice as Jordan Stephens and Harley Sulé, both 32 years old, have reunited to release their new song, Javelin. It's been nine years since they last recorded together, with their last album, Roaring 20s, coming out in 2013, and their debut album Stereo Typical in 2011.
The anticipation for their return has been building up, with fans eagerly waiting for any news on the duo's new music. Harley even teased their followers on social media by posting a photo of himself holding an empty sheet of paper, sending them into a frenzy. But the wait is finally over, and their new track is here, still carrying that familiar upbeat and cheeky tone that fans know and love. However, with both members now in their 30s, their sound has matured, bringing a new dimension to their music.
When asked about their new music, Rizzle Kicks shared that they wrote Javelin in a family home, in a good place, and with open hearts. This time, they had the opportunity to work with Swindle and Ant Whiting, who they now consider part of their family. Javelin has set the tone for their upcoming album, titled "Spearhead," and it's a statement of their intent to uplift spirits, which they believe is their lane in the music industry.
In the opening of their music video, Jordan playfully jokes that this is not his idea of a nice day out, referencing a meme started by Gary Barlow on TikTok. This sets the tone for the rest of the video, as the duo makes it clear that they have no intention of taking themselves seriously. Rizzle Kicks became synonymous with summer in the 2010s, with their catchy tunes that made people want to dance and sing along. And in the video, Harley can be seen loading a boombox with a cassette tape that reads "Rizzle Kicks Weather," a nod to that carefree and sunny feeling that is closely associated with the duo.
Despite their split in 2015, Jordan and Harley have remained good friends, and their chemistry is still evident in their music. Fans have been ecstatic about the reunion, with many taking to social media to express their excitement. Some have even compared their comeback to another big music return this week, with one fan declaring them as their "Oasis."
Rizzle Kicks' success in the music industry cannot be denied, with over 1 million singles and 600,000 albums sold in the UK alone. Their return has been hailed as the savior of music, with fans hoping that they can also save the world. But their break from music was necessary, as both members needed to focus on their mental health. Harley had been struggling with panic attacks, and touring and performing became too much for both of them.
Interestingly, Rizzle Kicks revealed their reunion on Jordan's podcast, The Red Carpet Treatment, where he shared his belief that their music has aged very well. According to him, their music represents a time in British history, 2012, which was filled with optimism, before the challenges of the pandemic, Brexit, and political turmoil. Javelin is just the beginning, with an album set to be released next year. Fans can expect more uplifting and catchy tunes from the Brighton-based hitmakers, and they couldn't be happier.
