Michael Kiwanuka is telling the story of his life on the road with the mini-documentary Out Loud!.
Streaming online now, it was filmed and directed by Jodie Canwell and accompanies the live album released on this year’s Record Store Day through footage of his most recent UK tour. “I always knew that I wanted to document touring the ‘Love & Hate’ album and I’m thrilled that Jodie was able to make this short film,” Kiwanuka observes.
“I was so excited to play these songs live and play with the musicians I’m lucky to tour with. The film goes along with the ‘Out Loud!’ live album and gives people a glimpse of what performing to fans means to me as well as what live music means to me in general.
“I love capturing moments in time in ways other than just a studio album. For me it’s another way to connect with fans. It’s a way for people to see what they normally wouldn’t be able to see.”
