Kae Tempest opened hearts at @theprincessbrisbane for @openseasonbrisbane ♥️

Kae met us with a humble, warm grace, a hand on his heart and took us on a unifying voyage - words flowing like running water over rocks. Explosive. Ascending. Real. Lyrics laced with empathy. Deeply inspiring, every person in that space left feeling safe, seen and seeing strangers a little softer.

An unforgettable experience - read the full review at the link in our bio

We caught up Meanjin artist Dublin Rose earlier in the year for this instalment of our spotlight sessions. Her music offers a cathartic space to untangle life’s chaos, shifting from brutally honest pop to whimsical folk reflections. Here @dublinrose_ performs ‘Capture This Moment’ and ‘They Say’ from her debut self-titled record which blends heart-on-a-sleeve lyricism and indie-folk charm

@itsbladehooper is a Meanjin/Brisbane based artist blending raw alt-rock energy with ethereal acoustic textures and lo-fi experimental touches. His music navigates the intimate spaces between vulnerability and intensity, crafting soundscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically adventurous. Drawing on personal experiences with mental health, trauma, and relationships, Blade channels honesty and introspection into every track, creating music that feels both confessional and expansive.

Chatting to their good friend and resident journo @pipinandtheducks, Blade shared the vulnerable meaning behind the track and his process for the next stage of the project.

Thanks @itsbladehooper for your time and being so open with us! 💚
