Check out this B-Side to Kiwanuka’s single “I’m Getting Ready,” which will also be featured on Michael’s debut album, Home Again, which is set for release 3/12 in the UK and some time later in the summer here in the US (BOOOOO!). The track was recorded in London and produced by Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) at Ray Davies’ studio. Kiwanuka’s effortlessly gorgeous vocals take this slow moving track into a daylight atmosphere perfect for a lazy day with this super chill vibe.

His warm voice lights this song up, and its one that you can listen to on repeat for days. Enough said. I couldn’t help but post the video for the song (although its the second I’m seeing). Its becoming one of my favorite songs of the year. His voice reminiscent of Otis Redding & Bill Withers, his music a little Dylan, and a little Nick Drake this song just can’t get out of my head.

Kiwanuka and company recorded this cover of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, with BBC Sound at Maida Vale Studios. I kind of love the sitar styling on this laid back version of a great tune. I’m waiting for more details about Michael Kiwanuka’s upcoming LP, but you can grab his fantastic Home Again EP on itunes.
Leave a Comment“Home Again” is the warm and fuzzy title track of Michael Kiwanuka’s third EP which will be released in January, and an album right around the corner in March. His warm soothing voice revives sounds of luminaries like Otis Redding and Bill Withers, its soulful warm and a perfect vibe for a slow ride on your way home.

Its becoming one of my favorite songs of the year. His voice reminiscent of Otis Redding & Bill Withers, his music a little Dylan, and a little Nick Drake this song just can’t get out of my head. If you are lucky enough to be in NY or LA you’ll be able to check him out live next month: December 6 – Los Angeles @ Hotel Café December 8 – New York City @ Joe’s Pub…
Leave a CommentMichael Kiwanuka – I’m Getting Ready Stumbling upon this small EP by London’s Michael Kiwanuka was such a treat. His voice is reminiscent of Otis Redding & Bill Withers, his music a little Dylan, and a little Nick Drake. He was supposed to be midway through his tour opening for Adele, but as everyone knows, the tour was canceled. His first full length will come out in the US on Cherrytree Records sometime in mid spring. http://michaelkiwanuka.com/
