    A note from Jeremy Sole:
    "As y'all may or may not know, I play an a cappella piece in the last 20 minutes of my show every week. Lately I've been getting more exclusive recordings, including a very special one recorded last Monday in a bathroom, backstage at the Troubadour. Some time ago, I reached out to a young artist that I came across in my research named Michael Kiwanuka, telling him how much I was moved by the one song he had online. We talked of getting him to the states for his first time, and perhaps doing a remix for him. He was so warm and sincere, and open to any musical ideas. Since then it's been a whirlwind of a ride for Michael, and he's handled it with the talent and authenticity so consistent of his character.

    I went to his sold-out show at the Troubadour and afterwards we caught up for a while and recorded some a cappella songs, including the one below. Definitely do your soul a favor and catch Michael and band when they come to your town. It was one of the most timeless and soulful shows I've ever seen."
