Song Of The Day: Michael Kiwanuka – I’m Getting Ready

Posted on
1 Jun 2012

Michael Kiwanuka makes beautiful noise.

While I don’t find each of his songs that different from the next, Kiwanuka’s sound is enjoyably consistent, soothing, and melodious. The British soul singer’s newest song, “I’m Getting Ready” is yet another example of solid guitar-playing, rich vocals, and perfect harmonies. Extra points to Michael for apparently being a top-quality person. After Googling around for deets on the singer, I have to say I’ve honestly never seen such a high compliment about someone – and published on a website as well-renowned for its accuracy as Wikipedia no less: “He was regarded as a very friendly and modest student with a huge circle of friends and a great appreciation for all different genres of music.” Considering his newest single is available for free download, supporting the man and the musician is really a no-brainer. You should also check out his current tour and his full-length album, “Home Again,” once it’s released July 31.
