An unexpected new drop form Kae Tempest, and a most welcome cover of George Michael’s Freedom ‘90.
It doesn’t have the same energy of the original, but I don’t think that’s the point with Kae. It’s obviously a song with a powerful message as Kae continues with his outstanding artistic and personal development.
It’s better than the ropey Robbie Williams cover, recorded with a similar message in mind.
George would have been proud of the direction being taken here. I often wonder how he would have thrived in a post-WOKE 2025 cultural environment.
Kae’s playing Brixton on Saturday. I’m keen to cut a deal with a tout.
