Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again
Acoustic soul with hints of grandiose. Part of the London singer’s live show since early summer, ‘Home Again’ rolls with folk guitar, loose dusty beats and some choice cello.
“So I close my eyes and the tears will clear, and I’ll fear no fear”, Michael Kiwanuka’s croon is touching with a retro-flavour. His voice is one of the most distinctive of 2011; his Home Again EP will be released January 1st, 2012 (via Polydor Records) – a smooth way to sing in the New Year.
