Our Take

KAE TEMPEST's latest offering, "The Line Is A Curve (Deluxe Edition)" is a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of life, told through the lens of their uniquely British perspective. The album is an eclectic mix of genres, with elements of spoken word, hip-hop, and electronic music all seamlessly blended together to create a sound that is both familiar and refreshing.

From the opening track, "Holy Elixir," with its haunting piano melody and powerful vocals, to the infectious beats of "Firesmoke," KAE TEMPEST holds nothing back on this record. The lyrics are raw and honest, tackling themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a level of depth and vulnerability that is rarely seen in modern music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "People's Faces," a soulful ballad that showcases KAE TEMPEST's incredible storytelling ability. The song builds to a cathartic climax, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and redemption.

Overall, "The Line Is A Curve (Deluxe Edition)" is a stunning achievement from KAE TEMPEST, showcasing their incredible talent and creativity. With its blend of genres and emotionally resonant lyrics, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking for music that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo. Hats off to KAE TEMPEST for delivering yet another masterpiece.

About the artist

Kae Tempest

If you were to distill the raw emotion of London into lyrical form, you would have something akin to the musical mastery of Kae Tempest. With a name as striking as their poetic verses, Tempest has become a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Hailing from South London, Kae Tempest burst onto the scene with their debut album "Everybody Down" in 2014, earning critical acclaim and a Mercury Prize nomination. Since then, they have continued to push boundaries with their thought-provoking lyrics and genre-defying sound. Tempest's unique blend of spoken word, hip-hop, and electronic beats creates a sonic landscape that is as captivating as it is intense. Their live performances are a truly immersive experience, as they command the stage with a presence that is both magnetic and enigmatic. But it's not just their music that sets Tempest apart. Their storytelling abilities are unparalleled, weaving intricate narratives that delve into themes of social justice, politics, and personal struggles. With each track, they invite listeners into a world that is both familiar and alien, leaving them questioning the very fabric of society. In a music industry dominated by cookie-cutter pop stars, Kae Tempest is a breath of fresh air. They are unapologetically themselves, unafraid to challenge the status quo and speak their truth. With each new release, they remind us that music is not just entertainment, but a powerful tool for change. So, sit back, press play, and let the magic of Kae Tempest wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
