OKEREKE: ‘DRUG-TAKING ISN’T A BIG DEAL’
BLOC PARTY frontman KELE OKEREKE remains defiant over his frank approach to cocaine and ecstasy on the band’s latest album, because he believes drug-taking isn’t "a big deal".
The British rocker has previously spoken about his experimentation with drugs, hailing ecstasy for giving him "orgasmic" and "sensual" feelings.
And he insists the references to illegal substances on their second release A Weekend In The City are not meant to "glamorise" the use of drugs - it is just an observation of modern life.
He says, "I think in the 21st Century drug-taking is something that is synonymous with life, really. All I intended to do with the songs is to capture what modern life feels like.
"They’re not in there to glamorise anything, it’s just aimed at being honest.
I’m not making a judgement about drugs; they are just there in the background.
I just don’t think it’s a big deal."
