Michael Kiwanuka
You've Got Nothing To Lose
Sounds like: Bill Withers, Laura Mvula, Bob Dylan
London soul singer Michael Kiwanuka joins forces with former White Stripes member Jack White on this touching track, which strikes a delicate balance between poignant and powerful.Released on 7-inch vinyl (available from Third Man Records), "You've Got Nothing To Lose" features a B-side cover of "Waitin' Round To Die" by blues & folk legend Townes Van Zandt.If you are a past-era music junkie like myself, this song may take you way back to musings of Bill Withers, or perhaps even full circle to contemporary artists such as Lianne La Havas, who I can only hope Kiwanuka will collaborate with in the near future.
