| With a pen as graceful as it is sharp, British artist, performer, poet, and author Kae Tempest captures the spinning world around us. Europe – an old continent creaking at its foundations. The tension in social and interpersonal relationships. Poverty. Love. Oppression. The freedom to be yourself. These are just a few of the themes Tempest continually revisits. Despite the intensity of their lyrics and the often heavy subject matter, hope is the thread that holds Kae Tempest’s work together. Those who have witnessed them perform can attest to the raw power radiating from the British artist. If tears are shed – which is not uncommon – it is beauty and deep emotion that lie at the heart of it. Supported by minimal hip hop beats and ambient textures, Kae Tempest amplifies their message like a megaphone. “Was that a pivotal historical moment, we just went stumbling past?” With ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’ (2016), ‘The Book of Traps and Lessons’ (2019), and ‘The Line Is A Curve’ (2022), Kae Tempest has created a triptych that offers a steadying hand in turbulent times. Feel free to call them one of the most unique, profound, and acclaimed voices of their generation. This will be a concert to surrender to. |
