Description
Sometimes you come across a debut album of such confidence and class, you can tell that the artist has been waiting their whole life to make it. Thats the story of Tiwayo. Gypsy Soul marks the exciting arrival of a bohemian spirit who has busked and gigged his way around the world to finesse a rare new talent. The album gathers his influences in blues, soul, gospel and reggae to create a gloriously stylish, rootsy sound all of his own. Listening to it is like finding a classic artist that you never knew about from the 1970s, but one with a completely contemporary ambience. Tiwayos emergence has seen him opening for such international luminaries as Cody Chesnutt, Sting, Seal, Marcus Miller and Norah Jones, and landing a deal with the legendary Blue Note label. The album sessions found him in exalted company, too. Production is by Mark Neill, the Grammy-winning co-producer of the Black Keys The Single Wild is getting Radio 2 Cerys Matthews and Drivetime play and play on 6 Music.
