Kae Tempest on Self-Fulfilling Prophecies, Having Lianna La Havas & Fontaines DC on Their New Album

Kae Tempest sits down with Kyle Meredith to discuss The Line Is a Curve. The UK spoken word poet/novelist/playwright tells us about using characters to work out their own issues, having guests Lianna La Havas and Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten on the record, and the self-fulfilling prophecy found inside one of the tracks.

Tempest also talks about recording the album in one take, three different times, in front of three different single-person audiences of different backgrounds and ages. They also touch on how the record was made to be cyclical, not just for the music to begin where it ends, but also to highlight the perseverance within the lyrics.

Listen to Kae Tempest discuss their new album, their artistic process, and more. You can also watch the full interview via Consequence.
