On today's Take Five we look back to a 2011 visit with Michael Kiwanuka. Remember hearing his voice for the first time? During the long wait for his full-length debut album, Home Again, Michael stopped by Studio A, and this performance of "Tell Me A Tale" is part of our latest collection of exclusive live tunes, FUV Live 15.
U.K. singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has had over-night success with his career. Last year before he had released any recordings, he opened for Adele on tour. Then he won the prestigious BBC Sound of 2012 poll even before releasing his full-length debut album, Home Again.
Guitarist and songwriter Michael Kiwanuka is only in his early twenties, but as North London's new troubadour of soul, his career is on a rocket path. Even before he released his debut album, Home Again, he toured with Adele – and he also stopped by FUV.
