Michael Kiwanuka recruits Tom Misch for funky new single "Money"
Michael Kiwanuka has teamed up with Tom Misch for the disco-tinged new offering "Money".
"Money" is Kiwanuka's first offering since 2017's "Cold Little Heart".
The new single also features YEBBA on backing vocals, and is mixed by Russell Elevado (D’Angelo, Kamasi Washington).
Speaking about the new single, Kiwanuka says, "The premise of Money is that, at first listen, it's a song about money and how much I want it and love it. I want to use money to meet people and be around people that have a lot of it. But as you listen closer, it's actually about how too much love for money can be dangerous."
Tom Misch adds, "I have been a big fan of Michael for a few years, so I was really excited to work with him. In the session it was cool to find we share a common love for 80s disco so we thought we would try something with that vibe. It came together really quickly and I enjoyed producing it, Michael killed it on the vocals."
Kiwanuka's new single lands ahead of his headline performance at this year's End Of The Road festival.
