This latest track follows "Yemaya", Olly Alexander collaboration "Grounds For Resentment", and "Streets Been Talkin'" in teasing Fatherland, Okereke's first solo record since 2014 LP Trick.
"'Do U Right' started as a song for a DJ Koze compilation,” explains Okereke. "I didn’t get a chance to finish it in time but I knew the song was promising so I kept it for my own album where it mutated and turned into this greasy Stax-style romp."
Okereke has recently announced a 10-date UK tour for October, with shows in London, Brighton, Glasgow, and more confirmed. Tickets are on sale from 4 August.
This month Bloc Party will be headlining Portmeirion's Festival No. 6 with Mogwai and The Flaming Lips. The band's most recent LP was last year's transitional HYMNS (although they unveiled standalone single "Stunt Queen"this past autumn as well).
