One of our favorite newer discoveries London singer Michael Kiwanuka recently cut this spare, gorgeous version of his as of yet unreleased “Home Again” in Paris a few weeks back. Kiwanuka’s talent for melody and lyric writing aside (both awesome), the man’s vocal quality is really really great. Withers, Otis, Marvin, Donny, those influences are all there but there’s a uniqueness to his voice, an honesty of melodic communication that really separates him from most contemporary singers that cut from a similar sort of cloth. Take a listen below and let us know what you think.
