Following a support slot on Adele’s European tour, Michael Kiwanuka released his debut EP, Tell Me a Tale, through Communion Records in June 2011 – to great critical acclaim. The 23-year-old has a rootsy, vintage-soul sound that has found comparisons with Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Bill Withers – even Van Morrison (think Moondance and you’re getting there).

Check out the video for Tell Me a Tale, here and look out for his second release, aptly titled, I’m Getting Ready EP – available 18th September.
