Emma‑Jean Thackray is a multi-dimensional wonder. She single-handedly wrote, recorded, arranged, and produced every element of her new release "Weirdo" in her South London flat. The result is a deeply personal, emotionally charged record that traces her journey through grief and loss. Alice Vyyvan-Jones spoke to the artist about the album and how music became a lifeline in the wake of tragedy.
Earlier this year, we interviewed Kae Tempest about their new album ‘The Book of Traps and Lessons’, poetry, and their optimism in a world that feels all too dystopian sometimes. Now, that the album is out and the tour in full swing, we took a closer look at the performance and stagecraft of an artists who invokes a delicate balance between connectivity and introspection.
