Self Titled

On their fifth album, 'Self Titled', Kae Tempest delivers their most personal work, directly addressing their gender transition, identity, and existence as a trans person. The record shifts from past narrative forms to a more direct first-person perspective, set against a varied sonic backdrop that incorporates conscious hip-hop, spoken word, and more attention-grabbing instrumentals including synth-pop and orchestral elements. The album, which features collaborations with Neil Tennant, Young Fathers, and Connie Constance, received widespread critical acclaim for its vital, profound, and timely exploration of the self.
