Roaring 20s is the second studio album by British duo, Rizzle Kicks. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2013. The album will be preceded by the release of the official lead single, "Lost Generation", as well as the promotional track "That's Classic".
The album sees the duo team up with long-term collaborators Ant Whiting and Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, who both appeared as producers on the duo's first album Stereo Typical, as well as songwriter Jamie Cullum co-writing two tracks on the album, and lending guest vocals to one. Pete Cannon produced the album's opening 2 tracks. An exclusive super-deluxe edition, featuring a signed poster, AAA lanyard and Rizzle Kicks pendant, is available exclusively from the Rizzle Kicks online store. This version also includes an exclusive deluxe physical copy of the album. The first single from the album, "Lost Generation", debuted at number six on the UK Singles Chart.
The duo revealed on 9 July 2013 that they were forced to call in libel lawyers to take a look through the lyrics of "Lost Generation", as they feared legal action after name-checking both Chelsea FC footballer John Terry and television personality Jeremy Kyle in the song. A friend of the band told The Sun that they contacted their lawyers to make sure their lyrics wouldn't land them in trouble. The Sun newspaper broke the story, saying: "Rizzle Kicks aren't your ordinary popstars. They are well known for having a lot to say in their lyrics - and on this track it's no different. The words speak for themselves. Libel lawyers had a close look at the lyrics."
All tracks written by Jordan Stephens, Harley Alexander-Sule, Anthony Whiting and Emily Phillips, except where noted.
