Right now on World Cafe, Michael Kiwanuka‘s right here to speak about his brand-new album, Small Modifications. The English singer, songwriter and producer says his fourth document represents a interval of massive life modifications, together with leaving London and fatherhood.
“I used to be subliminally considering of the concern of that change,” he says. “Can issues keep as they had been? Can I adapt? And it kind of turned the topic of the album.”
The Mercury Prize winner talks about how previous successes gave him the boldness to experiment together with his sound. Small Modifications strips again a few of the manufacturing components from 2019’s Kiwanuka, bringing his voice again to the forefront. That manufacturing comes courtesy of co-producers Hazard Mouse and Inflo.
Plus, Kiwanuka shares what tune he initially thought was too tacky, however now could be one his favorites on the document.
