Kae Tempest is one of the UK’s most powerful and distinctive voices — a poet, playwright, musician and author whose work captures the raw beauty and chaos of being human.
With five studio albums (including the critically acclaimed Self Titled, released this July), several critically acclaimed plays, and seven award-winning poetry collections to their name, Kae has long been celebrated for their ability to weave vulnerability and politics into art that resonates deeply.
He is the youngest ever recipient of the Ted Hughes Award, was selected by the Poetry Society as one of the 2014 Next Generation Poets and has even been nominated for a BRIT Award. When it comes to speaking truth to power - Kae Tempest is it.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Kae open up about the importance of truth in art, the challenges of visibility, and navigating their gender identity in the public eye. They also talk about finding resilience through creativity and why tenderness is a radical act in today’s world.
