Thanks for making my cover a video response! Very grateful, if people could just have a listen and give feedback, although I don't claim to have the voice of this marvel. :P
Jools puts a lot of unknown talents on his show, no doubt, but he doesn't scout these people himself and book them himself. These are the artists that have just made enough rumblings on local scenes (student bars, supporting larger acts) or critical acclaim for a release to warrant coming on TV shows.. Admittedly the BBC does a lot more to find these talents than other mainstream entertainment sources, but it's not like they are completely unheard of
Just to point out... Jools isn't any talent spotter. Michael topped the "BBC Sound of 2012" list. He earned it, didn't get any help from Jools. He was ment to be great. That's it, enjoy 2012
If anyone who hears this and doesn't credit Bob Dylan's "Corina Corina", this is exactly the same song with different lyrics. Maybe it is a cover song, but sorry I couldn't watch any further after hearing a song Bob Dylan wrote. Sorry.
Michael, shame I didn't know you before. I just saw you on BBC news and intuitively decided to see more of you on youtube. From now I will trust my intuition more! My brother, you are the great artist!!!
I've been playing this song for months at Kickface Records acoustic DJ set. Next one is on the 11th of December at the Defectors weld in Shepherds Bush. Loads of great music from emerging acts including, Lucy Rose, Emily and the Woods, Jake Morley, Karima Francis, Ben Howard, Tree Top Flyers etc..
Showcasing some live acts too in December. If Michael Kiwanuka is your thing yuo need to come down and check out the KickFace Records nights.
I was supposed to go see him tonight at the clunny, Unfortunately I can't go, damn.
