As they prepare to launch their first album in over a decade, Rizzle Kicks share the projects latest single ‘Vice’ – an infectious, jazz-infused pop ANTHEM, that sees the duo continue to explore lyrical themes of love and personal growth.
Produced by Owen Cutts (Stormzy) and co-produced by Alex Wells, who recorded the first ever demo of two of the bands most iconic hits ‘Down With The Trumpets’ and ‘Mama Do The Hump’, the sultry track serves as the follow up to release single releases ‘Javelin’, ‘Gumdrops’ and ‘New Sport’.
