First off, to HELL with Hurricane Sandy, Nor'Easter Athena and everybody who love 'em. Seriously, as I enter a week straight with unmitigated power and heat, I'm feeling more grateful [...] The post Getting Along Without Power, Heat And Michael Kiwanuka's Music appeared first on The Smoking Section .
The nominations for the 2012 MOBO Awards , which is to be held in Liverpool this November, have been revealed last night (September 17th). Some new and regular faces are amongst the nominees, including Stooshe, Rita Ora, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Emile Sande, Frank Ocean and a whole host of influential artists that have graced the music industry this year.

As we asked this past June when we had some tickets to give away to see Mr. K—are you guys following TVD’s Idelic Hour, our weekly podcast series which arrives at the tail end of every week? Host Jon Sidel was onto Michael Kiwanuka well over a year ago. In fact, MK held the Idelic Single of the Week spot. It’s sweet acoustic soul/R&B with spirit and swagger with a voice of conviction. But you needn't believe me. John Mayer recently noted on his Tumblr, "Just saw [Michael Kiwanuka] play a song [...]

British soul singer Michael Kiwanuka , who won the BBC 'Sound of 2012' poll (beating out Azealia Banks, Frank Ocean, A$AP Rocky, Skrillex, and others), is in the US for some shows this month (he just played Bonnaroo) including two in NYC this week. He plays Highline Ballroom tonight (6/13) . That show is sold out, but you can catch him for free on Thursday (6/14) at Prospect Park opening for Laura Marling , along with Willy Mason (the Celebrate [...]
Michael Kiwanuka plays a lonely road warrior on the highways and byways of America, bringing joy into the lives of ordinary people in the new video for 'I Get Along'. Watch it below. Catch Kiwanuka at this year's Liverpool Sound City this coming weekend; he plays at the Epstein Theatre at 21.00 on Friday 18 May. Unfortunately we'll not be there because TGTF is running a stage that night at the Liverpool Academy of Arts but his appearance and our stage are just two of many gigging options you have Friday evening.

Don't be surprised if you see the name Michael Kiwanuka popping up everywhere in the coming months. The U.K.-based singer-songwriter is on the verge of becoming this year's breakout British import, thanks in part to his signature brand of folk-infused soul music. Think something along the lines of Nick Drake meets Bill Withers. Earlier this week Kiwanuka released his full-length debut album, Home Again , stateside exclusively through iTunes, which will be available digitally elsewhere on May 8, with a physical release set for July 31. The 11-track record was produced Paul Butler from The Bees, [...]

Kiwanuka's debut album has warmed my heart countless times since it was released and it really does feel like we're starting to see artists who will stand the test of time. The new video for 'I'll Get Along' was released online this week and it's another soft filtered effort which fits the song beautifully. Well worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =rEA5lCcga-s

Michael Kiwanuka made a huge splash down at SXSW, and I didn't even go. This artist that the majority of musicheads weren't even familiar with was the talk of the town after SXSW. Think about that for a second. I read a handful of festival recaps, all of which made a point to tell it's readers to keep an eye out for Kiwanuka - he made that great of an impression (seemingly on everyone.) After watching the video for "I'll Get Along", you'll see exactly what the hype is about. Tweet

Michael Kiwanuka 's ascent from unknown troubadour to successful, Black Keys collaborating , retro soul singer has been swift - and rightly so, as the man possesses a rich, peaceful voice and creates warm, comfortable music that is almost impossible not to enjoy. His newest video, for "I'll Get Along," matches the atmosphere of the song perfectly with old polaroid style images of Michael travelling around looking thoughtful with his guitar. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable nonetheless. "I'll Get Along" is on Michael's debut album, out now.
