Kele is perhaps known for his punk band Bloc Party whose known to have a distinct hard sound blending dance music with punk. On his solo debut The Boxer Kele goes deeper into the dance sound, like previous Bloc Party remix albums, boxer is not convntional dance music nor is it anywhere near traditional pop music. The album is leaded by the fantastic lead single "Tenderoni", which captives all the senses with pure hard hitting synths. Only flaw is that it's sometimes hard to understand what he says on a few tracks.
