    News to me! but the more I think of it, the more it makes sense!

    "I didn't talk about it when I did interviews for the last record because it wasn't an area really reflected in the music; I didn't talk about race for the same reason. Why was that still a discussion point? The only reason it was a discussion point was because of the racial prejudice that exists in the mainstream media."

    "I think I'm going to have to [discuss my sexuality]. With the first album I didn't think it was essential to the experience. I didn't want to have to talk about it in a tabloid way. It wasn't there in the songs, so why did people need to know? But yeah, there are songs on this record that do feel like they're about desire, longing. So yeah, I am gonna talk about that."

    I did hear a few rumours but i thought it was just gossipy speculation, i thought the rumours were about Russell
    Kele didn't explicitly state he was gay did he?
