Rizzle Kicks have announced their new album, ‘Competition Is For Losers’.
Set for release on 14th February via BMG, alongside the announcement the duo have shared new single and video ‘New Sport’, which follows on from ‘Javelin’ and ‘Gumdrops’.
The video for ‘New Sport’, directed by Earthboi, draws inspiration from Andy Warhol and Basquiat. “Rizzle Kicks were an early part of my childhood and their resurgence, still as icons was something I really wanted to capture,” the director explains.
“In the search of crafting iconicity, which largely speaks to their upcoming project, I stumbled upon a series of images of Basquiat and Warhol posed as athletes. I felt like this image fully encompasses the idea of art as a ‘new sport’.”
