Rizzle Kicks will reunite with the duo and this week they announced that they hope to bring some optimism to 2024.
Jordan ‘Rizzle’ Stephens and Harley ‘Sylvester’ Alexander-Sule rose to fame in 2011 with the release of their debut single, followed by a string of high-profile festival shows that cemented their place in the UK music scene.
The pair went their separate ways following the release of Slurp! in 2016, but have now revealed they will be returning in a bid to salvage the year.
Sharing an update on Instagram on Thursday, Jordan and Harley were seen listening to one of their old hits, Down with the Trumpets, before popping a new cassette tape into a stereo.
“We’re back,” they captioned the clip.

Talking about their reunion on his podcast, The red carpet treatmentJordan said: ‘I think our music has aged really well and I think we, this is my guess, look back at a time in British history, 2012, which was pretty optimistic.
“We had the Olympics, before Covid, before Brexit, before Trump, people lived their lives.”
Rizzle Kicks have released two albums, Stereo Typical in 2011 followed by Roaring 20s in 2013.
The duo had the number one song Heart Skips A Beat, also featuring Olly Murs, along with other hits including When I Was A Youngster, Mama Do The Hump and Down With The Trumpets.
Since 2016, Jordan has released music under the stage names Wildhood and Al, the Native.
Earlier this year, the musician opened up about surviving “self-harm and heartbreak” in a candid new book, after finding love with Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall.
The singer also shared an insight into what it’s like to live with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) after previously sharing his battles with drink and drugs.
Jordan said the book, titled “Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs,” was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
