EP: Michael Kiwanuka – “Home Again EP”
Posted In EP,New Music,Soul by Toasty
The North London singer/songwriter’s name has literally been spilling out of industry folks mouths since early last year when he opened for Adele on the European leg of her tour. Now at the start of the 2012, a record deal with Polydor Records and with an album on the way, Michael Kiwanuka has been raking in the accolades.
The end of 2011 saw the singer nominated for the prestigious Brits Critic Choice award alongside Emeli Sande and Maverick Sabre. Then the 24 year old was announced as the winner of the BBC’s Sound of 2012, beating the likes of Frank Ocean and Azealia Banks (who came in second and third respectively). In the same week he released the third of his trio of EPs, which maintains the organic vintage Soul that many have taken too. His raspy voice floats over live instrumentation effortlessly and his music files perfectly next to the Bill Withers and Otis Reddings of this world.
