Michael Kiwanuka returns with new single, "Floating Parade"
Michael Kiwanuka has returned with new single, "Floating Parade", which he debuted last month at Glastonbury Festival.
The song itself is loosely written about utilising your senses to find an escape, particularly in oppressive circumstances, whether spiritually or physically. The floating parade is the metaphorical movement of taking yourself out of an uncomfortable situation and seeking comfort elsewhere, driven almost solely by the power of the mind.
In 2020, Michael Kiwanuka's third album, 2019’s KIWANUKA, won the Mercury Prize and heralded his first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. Floating Parade is his first new music since the release of standalone track “Beautiful Life” in 2021, for the Netflix documentary, Convergence: Courage in a Crisis by the Oscar winning director, Orlando von Einsiedel.
"Floating Parade" is out now.
