Titled "The Line Is A Curve," it is an incomparably honest and poetic examination of himself. The album, he says, is about the pressures we face and the chance for redemption they offer. "'The Line Is A Curve' is about letting go. Of shame, fear, isolation and falling into surrender instead. Embracing the cyclical nature of time, growth and love," Tempest said. You can find out what is meant by this in the first single release, the song "More Pressure" featuring Kevin Abstract. The U.S. rapper from the Brockhampton collective was introduced to Tempest by their mutual friend, producer Rick Rubin. In addition to Abstract, other guests featured on "The Line Is A Curve" include Grian Chatten of Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C., British folk and soul singer Lianne La Havas and rapper Confucius MC. Dan Carey, a longtime collaborator, also handled the production of the record.
