iMusic... Michael Kiwanuka - Tell Me A Tale

Another gem of a track that I picked up from Ollie Russian's blog! Absolute peach of a Soul/Jazz record from emerging London-based Soul man Michael Kiwanuka with those Afrobeat-infused horns gelling perfectly with lush drum patterns, seriously glorious bass guitar riffs and violin arrangements and oh not forgetting the magical flutes you hear all over this record! Just listen and be captivated!!!

Kiwanuka's debut EP of the same name (as this song) will be released on June 16 via Communion Records so make sure you look out for it and  if this title track is anything to go by then you will be hearing more from Michael Kiwanuka on our blogs!

iMusic... Our Feathered Embers - The Runner

Our Feathered Embers basically just reached out to me on Twitter with a Soundcloud link to this song titled "The Runner" with the phrase "here's some good music for you to plug" and you don't wanna know how many times I've read or heard that phrase before plus twitter links are so not me right now but anyway suffice to say that I clicked on this link for some reason and can I just say that "The Runner" from emerging London-based folk duo Our Feathered Embers (who I still know nothing about) is Absolutely Beautiful! Just listen below....

This will do perfectly for those cold and grey Autumn/Winter nights but also it does exceptionally well for right now so definitely pick it up for FREE underneath!
