Michael Kiwanuka and Tom Misch have combined for a joint single.
The summery, disco-influenced track is titled Money and finds the Mercury Prize-nominated Kiwaunka delivering falsetto vocals over Misch's guitar work. Speaking about the song, which centers around a cash-hungry world, Kiwanuka said:
"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."
Misch also commented:
"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. Big love to YEBBA on the BVs, Tobie Tripp on strings and Russell Elevado for the killer mix!"
Kiwanuka will appear at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, and End Of The Road this festival season. He warms up for his Worthy Farm set with a gig in Cardiff on June 27. Fans are currently awaiting news on the follow up to his 2016 LP 'Love & Hate'.
Misch, meanwhile, released his debut album 'Geography' in 2018 and also has a busy summer of live appearances ahead. He'll perform at Canon's Marsh Amphitheatre on June 26 as part of Bristol Sounds and NASS Festival in July, as well as at festivals and headline shows across Europe and in the US.
