Michael Kiwanuka is pleased to share a new single, Rebel Soul, the fourth taster from his forthcoming new album, Small Changes. The new album is released on 22nd November via Polydor Records.

Listen to Rebel Soul

Rebel Soul is the latest introductory serving from Michael’s fourth record, and a slow-build mood-setter that crescendos with Michael’s own vocal weaving in and out of focus, dripping with soul.

Further to Michael’s recently announced (and near sell out) UK/European tour for next Spring, he is excited to announce details of an intimate, stripped-back live run in support of UK record stores next month. The six dates offer fans a chance to hear the new music in much closer confines ahead of the full electric tour next year. The new dates call at Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Nottingham, Kingston Upon Thames, concluding in Southampton. Tickets for these dates go on sale tomorrow (25th October) via the links listed below.

Driving conversations between producer Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and Michael about the direction of the album and particularly The Rest Of Me, the album’s penultimate track, was the desire to make an album that transcends any notion of what is or isn’t deemed “cool”. He recalls, “We were trying to shoot for something that might have made it onto a Bill Withers album or a Sade album.” Indeed, Sade is the case in point on this new track, as Michael remembers afternoons as a child in the back of his aunt’s car, “where Diamond Life was rarely out of the tape machine.”
