Kate Tempest's latest album, Let Them Eat Chaos, came out in October.

The extraordinary British spoken-word artist Kate Tempest incorporates hip-hop and performance poetry into the scarily contemporary work on her new album, Let Them Eat Chaos. The album features the stories of seven London characters, each inhabiting song snapshots that take place simultaneously. As a whole, it's a devastating picture of contemporary London.

Stream and download two tracks in the segment above. Below, get a look inside the Rivoli Ballroom in South London for a recent live performance that was broadcast live on BBC 2.
