Thanks to songs on streaming shows , Kiwanuka is developing quite a US following. I am still not won over completely.

Does Kiwanuka need his own thread? His audience is growing in NA for sure but the response on this board is so lukewarm (no mentions in either the album or the tracks poll).

I liked the most recent one too, but something about his retro-ness bugs me. That Daptone like thing. Although his latest goes well beyond that. Also , I am a big fan of the late Mel Waiters, a southern soul singer, who like others on the “chitlin circuit soul thread “ get no crossover attention. That’s not Kiwanuka’s fault though, I must acknowledge.
