With Self Titled, Kae Tempest unveils their most personal work to date. Set for release on July 4, 2025, via Island Records, the fifth studio album dives deep into themes of self-reflection and artistic expression.
Produced by Fraser T Smith, the album features twelve tracks blending spoken word, electronic soundscapes, and raw storytelling. Collaborations with Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys), Young Fathers, Connie Constance, and Tawiah add rich layers to the project. The lead single, Know Yourself, provides a glimpse into Tempest’s introspective journey, accompanied by a powerful video shot in London’s oldest barbershop.
Self Titled is a poetic exploration of vulnerability and self-acceptance, solidifying Kae Tempest’s place as one of the most unique voices of our time.
