In the midst of our electronic influenced age, it is a pleasure to hear some vintage soul in the air. Meet Alter-Hip-Soul's Artist of August, Michael Kiwanuka. He is UKs 23 year old answer to Aloe Blacc.
Tell Me A Tale is his first release via Communion Records and is most definitely guided by many 60/70′s soul legends. Manipulating a classic era, Michael Kiwanuka succeeds in sounding fresh and current. The Track has a nice brass presence, a rich saxophone finish and vocals that seem to go well beyond the years he has walked this earth, Kiwanuka gives something alot more than the norm.
If you dig the Raphael Saadiq or Aloe Blacc vibe, I would suggest learning this guy’s name too.
Here is his new folk track from the forthcoming EP I’m Getting Ready out September 18th. I have great hopes for Kiwanuka. Keep on the lookout.
