Genre-busting musician Michael Kiwanuka on setting himself apart
Michael Kiwanuka s music does not fit in any one category; rather, it s a mix: blues, rock, funk, R&B, jazz and soul. I think you should always kind of keep the listener or the audience guessing a little bit, you know? he said.
The singer-songwriter has been called Britain s Otis Redding. The thirty-three-year-old Kiwanuka is now on his third album. But it s this song, Cold Little Heart, that put him on America s music map:
Did you ever want it? Did you want it bad? Oh my, it tears me apart …
Bleeding, I m bleeding!
