It has been five years since a conceptual album, “Kiwanuka,” received Grammy and Brit nominations and won the Mercury Prize for English singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, and now the 37-year-old artist returns with his fourth album that reflects on changes in his personal life. The 11-track record “Small Changes” has been announced to be released on November 15th, 2024, via Geffen Records, following Kiwanuka’s US tour co-headlining with Brittany Howard.

For the making of “Small Changes,” Michael Kiwanuka reunited with co-producers Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton (Gorillaz, Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley) and Inflo (Sault, Adele, Cleo Sol), continuing the creative streak that began with his critically acclaimed 2016 UK number-one album, “Love & Hate.”

French–German independent record label InFiné has presented a culturally and musically diverse lineup of internationally renowned, exceptionally talented artists, including Deena Abdelwahed, Lucie Antunes, Rone, Sabrina Bellaouel, UTO, Blick Bassy, and Cindy Pooch, who work in a variety of genres, spanning from pop, electronic dance, R'n'B, soul, independent rock, to contemporary instrumental music and motion picture scores.

For the InFiné family of artists, the past few months have been marked by a volume of new releases, music video productions, and extensive touring across the US, Canada, and Europe, opening new opportunities and embarking on new chapters for already well-established and new rising talents, unveiling their latest creations, growing their fan base globally and expanding their creative horizons.
