Kae Tempest and Lianne La Havas team up for new single 'No Prizes'

Kae Tempest has dropped a second single from forthcoming album 'The Line Is A Curve'.

Titled 'No Prizes', the latest cut features Lianne La Havas, and is taken from the upcoming record, due for release on 8th April via Fiction Records.

Following up on the previously released 'Paradise', Kae explains: “Made a song with my good friend and mind-blowing artist Lianne La Havas. So grateful for her voice in the world and on this record. A portrait of three people getting on with getting on. I just got to keep climbing.”

“The Line Is A Curve is about letting go,” Kae explains. “Of shame, anxiety, isolation and falling instead into surrender. Embracing the cyclical nature of time, growth, love. This letting go can hopefully be felt across the record. In the musicality, the instrumentation, the lyricism, the delivery, the cover art. In the way it ends where it begins and begins where it ends.

“I knew I wanted my face on the sleeve. Throughout the duration of my creative life, I have been hungry for the spotlight and desperately uncomfortable in it. For the last couple of records I wanted to disappear completely from the album covers, the videos, the front-facing aspects of this industry. A lot of that was about my shame but I masked it behind a genuine desire for my work to speak for itself, without me up front, commodifying what felt so rare to me and sacred. I was, at times, annoyed that in order to put the work out, I had to put myself out.
