Bombay Bicycle Club have teamed up with Chaka Khan on their new single, Tekken 2.
Ahead of the release of their latest album, ‘My Big Day’ – out October 20 and featuring collaborations with Damon Albarn, Jay Som, Nilüfer Yanya, and Holly Humberstone – they shared their collaboration with the funk icon.
Jack Steadman says: “It has been a pretty crazy journey, from sitting on my sofa messing around with a keyboard and drum machine to sitting across from Chaka Khan in a fancy L.A. studio giving her singing directions.
“Chaka was an absolute superstar and the whole experience was so positive. I think the song reflects that – it’s about coming together, putting any bad thoughts aside and just enjoying the moment.”
Khan adds: “After Jack invited me and then sent the song, I loved it, the ethereal part drew me in. The band has such innovative and passionate energy, truly great musicians. Absolute vibes.”
