Muswell Hill’s Michael Kiwanuka’s artistry has been beloved from the start – after acting as a session guitarist for Chipmunk and Bashy, he caught the attention of Communion Records and eventually released his first EP, Tell Me a Tale. His attention to detail, particularly through the implementation of horns, strings and woodwind elements, allowed his storytelling to come alive. 

Kiwanuka breaks through the strict confines of genre: from his folk debut Home Again, to his most recent soulful release Small Changes, the singer proves that certain sounds can coincide with poetic lyricism to paint the most vivid pictures. His latest performance at the Eventim Apollo last night was an excellent example of this.

Although Kiwanuka’s setlist explored various moments within his career, this compilation took the audience through an intimate, personal journey about love and his own internal battles.
