Michael Kiwanuka - KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka returns with the (sort of) self-titled KIWANUKA LP. One of our finest young voices.

‘KIWANUKA’ was recorded in New York, LA and London. Michael returned to the studio with Danger Mouse and Inflo, the same production team that combined so magnificently on Love & Hate, KIWANUKA finds a new assuredness in Michael’s writing, and takes the basic sonic blueprint of that last record to a dizzying new realm.

+ Available on indie shop double yellow vinyl.
+ Available as a limited Deluxe CD in a cloth-bound and gold foil-stamped Hardcover Book Sleeve.

Michael will tell you of his love for records that entwine their songs with incidental skits and shape-shifting spiralling outros, so the listener experience is almost that of listening to one long, dramatic song. KIWANUKA fulfils that winding, dream-like haze, unhurried.

KIWANUKA is Michael serving from the heart, from the mind, and from the soul.

On the album title, Michael explains "This album, it’s kind of a defiant thing; I’m engaging with who I am and I’m not going to have an alter ego, or become Sasha Fierce or Ziggy Stardust, even through everyone’s telling me I need to be this, that or the other. I can just be Michael Kiwanuka."
