British duo Rizzle Kicks – made up of Jordan Stephens and Harley Sulé – release their brand-new single ‘Gumdrops’, out now via BMG.
Following the exciting announcement with Davina McCall on socials last week, Rizzle Kicks deliver a continuation of their mature and evolved sound on new track ‘Gumdrops’. Offering a nuanced discussion about masculinity and lad culture, the track’s smooth bassline weaves between Jordan and Harley’s vocals as they capture the bittersweet essence of adolescence. The single arrives with an accompanying visualiser.
Speaking about the new single, Rizzle Kicks said: “Gumdrops is our homage to growth, discussing what ‘lad culture’ used to be when we grew up. It was interesting delving back into the questionable ideologies that created us. Sugar is also a persistent issue for us both and potentially the entire world because it’s so addictive, haha. And then finally the gumdrops line slipped in partly in homage to an old song we used to love by a rap crew called LDN Zoo”
Next month on Friday 8th November, Rizzle Kicks are set to perform their first headline show in nearly a decade at London’s iconic KOKO in Camden. The highly sought after show sold out in less than a minute, with fans eager to see the duo’s first performance back as a duo.
Speaking about the show, Rizzle Kicks said “We’re back and we’re finally doing it again. Being back on stage together is one of the things we’ve been looking forward to most about this comeback and it would mean the world doing it with you guys. We just can’t wait to play some new tracks, and some old ones of course, and do what we love the most, together.”
They have also announced four UK headline shows for 2025.
Rizzle Kicks will perform at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, Birmingham’s O2 Institute and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town across March 2025. The duo have also announced a homecoming return to Brighton to headline The Great Escape.
