Kate Tempest drops ‘Holy Elixir’ ahead of upcoming album
‘The Book Of Traps and Lessons’ is set to be released on June 14th.
The ever-wonderful Kate Tempest has dropped ‘Holy Elixir’, a taste of her upcoming album ‘The Book Of Traps And Lessons’.
The album will be her third and is set for release on June 14th. ‘Holy Elixir’ was said to be written as “a kind of incantation,” placed at a crucial point in the album acting as a penultimate moment (and more literally, the penultimate track) with the strength to stand alone out of context.
