Michael Kiwanuka Shares New Track "Summer Clothes
Summer Clothes opens FUDGE, and is a gorgeously understated but lushly symphonic introduction to the record. Rich with heart and soul, and an almost avant-garde Scott Walker approach to emotional delivery, it's a typically welcome return for one of Britain's very finest singer-songwriters.
Michael found his initial inspiration in hearing an interview with the late American jazz pianist Chick Corea, quoting directly from it here, "You have to learn to be certain about what you like, not what you think sounds good to someone else⦠Whatever you think is beautiful, that's what's beautiful, and you have to pursue that."
The video for Summer Clothes was directed by Yout, and inspired by what Michael sees as the quiet beauty of people finding creativity in the everyday, particularly the local tailors in Southampton - and by the creativity that can exist within a moment that might otherwise seem ordinary.
