The original version of the song first appeared on OneRepublic’s sixth studio album Artificial Paradise, released earlier this year in July. Alongside the track, the band also released their new music video for the song. Watch HERE. The video was directed by Isaac Rentz, who also directed the videos for “I Ain’t Worried” and “Sink or Swim”.

Five years after the Grammy and Brit-nominated, Mercury Prize-winning “KIWANUKA”, Michael Kiwanuka re-emerges with an album that reaffirms his status as one of the defining singer-songwriters of his generation. “Small Changes” sees the British singer-songwriter reconvening with co-producers Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton (Gorillaz, Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley) and Inflo (Sault, Adele, Cleo Sol), in the process, extending a creative space that began with 2016’s acclaimed UK number one album “Love & Hate”.
One would be forgiven for thinking that the prospect of succeeding a record which garnered across-the-board superlatives around the world might place an onerous weight on the shoulders of its creator. But to listen to Kiwanuka talk about the manner in which his latest songs came together is to realise that this is a man perpetually set to ‘receive’. The changes that have taken place in his life – the arrival of two children and a move out of his native London – might have presented a distraction for some musicians. By contrast, when the subject comes up, Kiwanuka gives an imperturbable smile and tells the story of an artist friend who told him, “the thing about children is that they give you wings. I didn’t know what he meant, but now I totally know.”
Further to Michael’s recently announced (and near sell out) UK/European tour for next Spring, he is currently on an intimate, stripped-back live run in support of UK record stores this month. The six dates offer fans a chance to hear the new music in much closer confines ahead of the full electric tour next year. He has just played Birmingham and Liverpool, and will see the tour take him through Leeds, Nottingham, Kingston Upon Thames, and Southampton in the next weeks.
