Keane: 'Kanye West Is A Musical Genius'

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin has called Kanye West a “musical genius” and revealed that he may appear on their next studio album.

The group have maintained contact with the rapper since they were introduced at a recording studio in Paris two years ago.

In an interview with Gigwise, which you can watch on the Gigwise TV player on the right hand side of this page, Chaplin said West was still “a fan” of the band.

He also said he was hopeful they could spend some more time in the studio together.

“He’s kind of a magnetic person - a real force,” Chaplin told Gigwise.

“You feel when you’re around him that he’s pulling all these things along with him. He’s a great musical genius I guess.”

Keane are currently writing the follow-up to their last full album, 2008’s ‘Perfect Symmetry’.

Chaplin said the album had the potential to be a “poppy record”, and admitted that they were all “really excited about it”.

“Tim (Rice-Oxely, Keane’s principal composer) has written a load of songs already,” Chaplin added.

“He keeps doing this thing called the twenty song game at home where he sets up all his equipment at seven in the morning and he’s got 12 hours to write twenty songs.

“I guess it’s just a way to get stuff written and out there, and write without too many inhibitions.”
