Stoked to see Michael Kiwanuka getting props for that lovely jumper-clad perfomance on Jools last night. Here's my Tour Dates interview with him, which ran back in May:

My First Sight feature on Al Spx's deep south-style songstress Cold Specks, fresh off her spellbinding performance on Jools Holland this week. Out in today's Guardian:

First Sight: Michael Kiwanuka

 









Michael Kiwanuka, profiled for The Guardian:

"A 23-year-old north London singer-songwriter with the voice of a 1960s US soul man, a vintage sound brimming with yearning and cracked joy"

"You make it look so good/the way you put it like that"

My first First Sight feature for The Guardian Film&Music is out today, featuring Emika. She's a Berlin-based producer, originally from the UK. She makes creepy, seductive, bass-heavy songs. Get to know:
