Home Again is the debut album from Michael Kiwanuka, winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll. Ironically, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist's warm and intimate folk-soul sound resembles one of the early- to mid-'70s, as his composition style -- paired with Paul Butler's throwback production approach -- evokes comparisons to classic recordings by the likes of Bill Withers, the Band, Van Morrison, and Terry Callier.
Professional Reviews

Billboard (p.52) - "Though his handsomely rough-edged voice sets you up for a set of mellow ruminations on love, the album ends up veering off in far trippier directions..."
Uncut (magazine) (p.80) - "[An] arresting, if low-key debut that confirms its creator's rapid ascent....This pensive debut gives notice of a fine new talent."
