We are delighted to announce a series of ‘FUDGE’ Global Listening Gatherings at record stores and hi-if bars around the world. These are special events for fans to come together to listen to ‘FUDGE’ and celebrate the album. FUDGE is Michael Kiwanuka’s most free and instinctive album to date. A vibrant, deeply human record shaped by spontaneity, emotion, and creative joy. It’s loose, soulful, and alive with the kind of magic that only happens when the process leads the way. The album was inspired by the encouraging words of the late Chick Corea, whose interview Michael stumbled upon during the pandemic lockdown, urging him to embrace what he loved without worrying about what others might think.
