‘Move Rework’, is a beautifully crafted incarnation of the track, which is available today via Fiction Records. Additional vocals from Kojey Radical perfectly complement the very recognisable voice of Kae Tempest.
Kojey says of the collaboration “Kae was a pivotal inspiration as I began my career so finally getting the chance to work with them was a dream come true. As soon as I heard the record I was excited. It’s pure energy with an interesting perspective and I hope you enjoy.”
A fan of Kojey since his poetry days, the pair met at Later With Jools in the Summer and instantly formed a bond, he was the first person Kae thought of when they decided to release the track.
Kae adds “I’ve loved Kojey’s work for years. It was a beautiful experience to get together in the studio and record this version with him. I love his voice, his lyricism, his musicality, his poetics. It was a joy to have met and connected.”
