Our Take

KAE TEMPEST's latest album, The Line Is A Curve, is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and funky beats that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes in no time. The London-based wordsmith effortlessly weaves together thought-provoking lyrics with infectious rhythms, creating a musical tapestry that is both profound and groovy.

Tracks like "Falling Apart" showcase TEMPEST's incredible storytelling abilities, painting vivid pictures with their words that transport listeners to another world. The pulsating basslines and catchy hooks make this album perfect for late-night drives or impromptu dance parties in your living room.

But don't be fooled by the upbeat tempo and catchy melodies - TEMPEST isn't afraid to tackle some heavy topics on this record. Songs like "Rise and Fall" delve into themes of societal collapse and personal growth, offering a much-needed dose of introspection in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Overall, The Line Is A Curve is a triumph for KAE TEMPEST, showcasing their unparalleled talent as a musician and lyricist. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a truly unique and exciting musical experience. So grab your headphones, press play, and let TEMPEST take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, mate!

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.
