Kae Tempest has revealed a new song.
I Saw Light finds the Lewisham-based wordsmith joining forces with Fontaines D.C. vocalist Grian Chatten for the latest preview of their new album, 'The Line Is A Curve', due for release on April 8.
The track finds Tempest delivering their trademark poetic bars atop an hypnotic, electronic beat, with Chatten's contribution also being delivered as spoken word. Introducing it online, Tempest said:
"So glad that true poet of our age Grian Chatten joined me on my new song I Saw Light. It's out now. On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge, on the side of your face at the bar. It went dark. I saw light."
Tempest will tour the UK and Ireland this spring in support of the Dan Carey-produced record, which also lists Rick Rubin as executive producer.
