Ever once in a while I come back to this session and it makes me shiver every single time. Kate is one of the most important artists for me nowadays!

[@shar1ngthemusic]

Yeah ...no f***in' doubt 💥

[@techsupport8236]

Kae is an unbelievable artist. Every live performance they have ever done seems to be both unique to that moment and also a flawless rendition of the song

[@winterwatson6811]

liked and commented to get their name and pronouns closer to the top 🦈

[@georgemartin578]

teared up in Europe Is Lost. fucking sick performance

[@jaroslavkorbel8385]

The like/dislike ratio is criminal. What a stunning performance, I got chills. 'Let Them Eat Chaos' is one of the top records of 2016.

[@unabonger777]

it takes a while to get going, but it's worth it.

[@kagillogly]

I agree. I'm not a 'word' person in my music (I like voices as another instrument), but Kate Tempest is so compelling, her poetry so stunning, that I can't stop listening!

[@vampcaff]

Jaroslav Korbel the ratio is just the right amount of likes vs dislikes. gives a glimpse into how many people don't know what good music is. some individuals will never understand what beauty is.

[@SOLOIIguru]

If you haven't seen it yet, the second half was just posted to KEXP's channel. shit had me in tears

[@GloriaDelicioso]

perhaps of this century! so impressed

[@lillianhorvath5444]

SHE'S GIVES ME THE FUCKING CHILLS. I LOVE HER.

[@aliservan7188]

She really is a pure force for good.

[@micheljouve8181]

I wish I was fluent enough to understand everything. But the poetry is also inside her flow, voice, energy... wonderfull day today, I’ve discovered a pure talent. Elle est formidable !!!

[@tastethepain28]

Don't worry, no one is fluent enough to understand everything.

[@fugitivephilo]

One of few artists left with the mind & passion to speak truth to power.

[@Reifenthaler]

so happy i read The Bricks That Built The Houses in her English original at first, even if i didnt understand everything, as i dont speak English so fluently. Heard her voice all the time reading the book in my head

[@montanalong1670]

Europe is Lost in particular reduced me to rubble. The whole session is amazing.

[@brownerthanu]

Chills.

[@freddybambas]

Just saw her live in Paredes de Coura Festival here in Portugal and it was a mind blowing performance!! Chills indeed

[@stratocactus]

I've listened to this one song almost a hundred times. The lyrics seem to have been picked from my mind.

[@HipsterKaren]

Man... that was something.

[@mbarski]

She teared me apart. Stunning.

[@dancemusicforoldpeople]

This guarantees her immortality.

[@tekknojunkie]

Kate has master flow and a magic lyrical light, beautiful and real words, beast of a performance!

[@vonnyfowler4869]

Thank you for being amazing Kate Tempest

[@Salamurazeytin]

Hope is out there for the new generation..

[@jon41987]

How could anyone dislike this. Amazing performance and writing.

[@willpain4487]

Damn that's fucking sick she is a real good story teller

[@PodOfHeat]

I love Kate Tempest!

[@brokkolikanone]

Extraordinary. Fantastic. I'm in love with all of them actually.

[@stevecalhoun5913]

Wow! I am thrilled that I found Kate Tempest. Her and her band's work is brilliant. Keep it coming.

[@ffiftysixx]

[@dsignart]

She's amazing, thank you for this!

[@bestoffeelings]

She is sofa king good. Talented and relevant, tearjerkingly relevant. Looking forward to reading her books and seeing her live in Barcelona. Peace & love to every1 //BOF//

[@lollylula6399]

1love 💖

[@sebastianlbb]

goosebumps, tears and joy. thanks for that powerful performance!

[@Juan_Teppa]

"Whoops" is fun, catchy and great! :)

[@23bit76]

One of the best things I've ever seen

[@pedronius]

Mind-blowingly awesome.

[@loubest3935]

Read her novel, The Bricks That Built The Houses. It's good.

[@Athie0]

A ray of hope in the world of rythm and poetry... just brilliant. Hopefully she will one day perform at the AB in Brussels (Belgium).

[@majoganddinimg75]

brilliant.

[@judestephensmusicukpianoso8968]

Brilliant performance. Great lyrics, so raw, real and fearless.

[@vKarl71]

These people are great. I wish KEXP would find it in their hearts to name the musicians in the credits. It's very difficult to hear their names as spoken in the video. KEXP credit the people who made the video (which is good) but not all the people who made the music. Why?

[@eatmykwad]

Half way in this is some of the best tempest i've seen, awesome production !

[@TheTroose]

Humbled, no words.

[@soundpuzzle9351]

love it!

[@Redled_Original]

Love it! Großartig!

[@t4exanadu]

Love both her and Joshua Idehen, such fantastic poets and performers.

[@ptesweats8940]

Fucking brilliant

[@nsjx]

[@lupitamihita1261]

Amazing!

[@GloriaDelicioso]

[@MikeMaksosa-Music]

...goosebumps. Extraordinary and mind opening nothing less.

[@matthulse6177]

one of the few things I can be proud of as a Brit is our music and Kate Tempest is a brilliant example of free-spirited genius that 'we' do so well :)

[@chingaochanga]

[@mxmrdnko]

Dope! What a person!

[@shintafukuda2274]

Wow, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings!" I mean, I've been listening to the "Let Them Eat Chaos" CD every day for a month. And yet she and all of them are always BETTER in a live performance. Just like I remember Santana, or Jimi Hendrix way back, way back. Miraculous Times.

[@kraenk12]
