WINNER OF THE 2020 MERCURY PRIZE

KIWANUKA sets off on a journey that evokes the psychedelic haze of its predecessor, but ramps up
a very broad sense of scale. With his exquisite band of players, Michael channels an assortment of
the late greats (a nod to Gil Scott-Heron here, Bobby Womack flecked there, and the ever present
Otis Redding vocally) for a richly rewarding record that sits typically at odds with the notion and
expectations of a successful British singer-songwriter in 2019, and moves even further away from the
folk-imbued vintage soul of his debut album, Home Again, back in 2012.
“The last album came from an introspective place and felt like therapy, I guess. This one is more about feeling
comfortable in who I am and asking what I want to say. Like, how could I be bold and challenge myself and
the listener? It is about self-acceptance in a more triumphant rather than melancholy way. It's an album that
explores what it means to be a human being today.”
