“SING” IS STREAMING NOW – WATCH VIDEO FILMED IN MORROCCO HERE
FUDGE IS RELEASED 23RD OCTOBER 2026
“It really does make me feel alive to make music and to sing” – Michael Kiwanuka
16 OCTOBER 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Michael Kiwanuka is pleased to share the anthemic Sing, the second track to be lifted from his forthcoming fifth album, FUDGE, out 23rd October 2026 via Polydor Records.
FUDGE was recorded in Southern England, with its release left pending for almost twelve months due to Michael’s ongoing battle with ill health which he addressed directly to his fans via soclal media. Read here for more information.
A video for Sing is shared today, filmed in Morrocco back in early Summer 2025 by Michael, alongside friends, collaborators and cinematographers Leon Psyzora and Jesse Appiah. Watch here
The record also marks a change in personnel behind the glass for the first time since his debut album (2012’s Home Again), with Michael taking the reins of its production rather than alongside his trusted collaborators Danger Mouse and Inflo. Michael took the initial studio recordings to producer Dom Monks (Laura Marling, Big Thief) and his long-standing strings collaborator Rosie Danvers to get the record completed.
FUDGE is the culmination of a particularly rich vein of creativity for Michael, and was written almost concurrently with the writing for 2024’s fourth album, Small Changes. FUDGE became a project in and of itself, without the bells and whistles of a ‘big’ studio but something altogether more homespun. It’s a gorgeous, evocative listen.
Away from any outside pressures, and without the burden or weight of expectation, Michael’s making music purely for the love of it, and has arguably never sounded better.
“this introspective yet ornate opus could be Kiwanuka’s best yet…” – Uncut
