Those who were lucky enough to make it to last week's listening party will already be enraptured by Fudge, the long-awaited new album from Michael Kiwanuka, sadly delayed by devastating illness. Recorded in tandem with 2024's Danger Mouse and Inflo produced Small Changes, Fudge is Kiwanuka's first foray into self-production, and an rather different prospect than the former's LA session pros and legendary studios. Made in his small Southampton home studio with his long-time live band and a vintage mixing desk purchased with his Mercury Prize winnings, Fudge is an altogether more personal record, warm with tape hiss and a looser, more psychedelic sound.
