英国灵魂歌手Michael Kiwanuka被英国媒体BBC评选为Sound of 2012。他在去年推出了EP “Tell Me The Tale”之后，成功与Communion Records签约。并且受邀参加了英国女歌手Adele去年巡演。今年1月1日，推出了专辑同名单曲“Home Again”。
此为豪华版。

本名Michael Samuel Kiwanuka的麥可齊汪努卡，自幼受到吉他之神Jimi Hendrix、傳奇樂團The Band、民謠教父Bob Dylan、經典靈魂樂天王Otis Redding等人的影響，將靈魂、搖滾、民謠搖滾、節奏藍調等多元樂風全部融會貫通，並且放到了屬於自己的音樂中，呈現出獨一無二的風格。2012年，Michael Kiwanuka以首張專輯【Home Again重回家園】橫掃了德國(No.1)、比利時(No.2)、挪威(No.3)、法國(No.3)與英國(No.4)等歐陸各國的排行榜，同時也讓他因此登上了「BBC Sound of 2012」的寶座，並且成為了下一個世代的指標性人物，開拓出他音樂生涯的羅馬大道。不過，這些豐功偉業對於他來說只是音樂所帶來的附加價值，真正重要的是：持續創作與撰寫出獨一無二的音樂。為了能夠突破上一張專輯的框架，他嘗試了許多不同的新體驗：「透過新的方式與新的創作思維，讓我能在歌詞與旋律上進行更多冒險與探索，這增進了我作品的廣度和深度。」抱持著不斷突破的信念，Michael Kiwanuka以嶄新的方式進行著專輯的創作和譜曲寫詞，同時也與許多音樂前輩進行深度的交流，藉此吸取了豐富的音樂涵養；在經歷超過1300個日子之後，他的第二張個人專輯【Love & Hate愛恨糾纏】終於誕生了。

Michael Kiwanuka is a British soul musician who is signed to Communion Records. He has been compared to Bill Withers, Randy Newman, and Otis Redding, as well as Van Morrison and the Temptations. In January 2012 he won the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll.

Yet another superb entry in Ace's short series of Expanded Versions of Millie Jackson's original Spring albums.

"Hurts So Good" first appeared in 1973, on the back of Ms. Jackson's Top 3 R&B/Top 30 Pop US success with its title track (her all-time biggest US hit, by the way). Its appearance also marked the first time that Millie recorded in the famous southern soul town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama - where her major subsequent successes "Caught Up" and "Still Caught Up" (both also available in this series) would be recorded in their entirety.

This newly remastered version, from the original Spring album production master, adds a generous six bonus tracks, including a first-ever true stereo mix of Millie's non-album 45 "Breakaway", several very different mixes of some of the album's highlights and two `one take' demos that Millie never recorded `finished' versions of.

Once again issued with the co-operation and participation of Ms. Jackson herself, this is an hour's worth of seminal Millie that no true fan or collector will care to be without.

<em>Soul Men Original Soundtrack:</em><br />The soundtrack to the hit comedy featuring new music by John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, Me'shell Ndegocello and The Real Deal (a.k.a. Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac), plus Old School classics by Isaac Hayes, William Bell, and more!

★雌雄莫測又神祕的Alternative R&B單人樂團，2018年全新第二張專輯登場
★加拿大創作新銳鬼才Michael Milosh獨挑大樑，包辦全曲目譜寫製作
★暌違五年新作終於問世，收錄話題強勢單曲"Taste"、"Please"、"Song For You"等11首力作
以詭譎莫測的神祕嗓音，帶有雌雄莫測的靈韻歌喉，Rhye融合了Alternative R&B、Downtempo、Soul、Sophisti-Pop、Electronic等不同樂風，敲響了自己在樂壇中的名聲，並且混搭上些許電子音符的跳動，帶給所有人從未體驗過的嶄新音樂，而在專司樂器演奏的Robin Hannibal離去之後，唯一的靈魂Milosh，持續以自己無盡的才華，創作最獨特的另類節奏藍調聲響。
2010年，加拿大才子創作歌手Milosh，與來自丹麥的樂器演奏家Robin Hannibal，兩人在洛杉磯相遇，一拍即合的音樂頻率，促成他們組建了Rhye。一開始兩人以Rhye的名義，在網路上發表了"Open"、"The Fall"等歌曲，立刻掀起了國外社群媒體的高度討論，由於歌曲充滿了非常浪漫主義形式的Soul-Pop風格，加上Milosh的歌喉遊走在男女的平衡之間，讓人猜不到這一組Rhye到底是個甚麼樣的組合，更猜不透這個主唱是男還是女。直到2013年，Rhye發行了他們的首張正式專輯【Woman】，上述的答案才一一揭曉，眾人也驚訝於主唱Milosh雌雄莫辨的完美歌喉。首張專輯【Woman】的成功，讓Rhye走訪了世界各地巡迴，更來到台灣開唱，讓所有樂迷都見識到他現場穩定的功力和令人動容的聲線。2017年，樂器演奏家Robin Hannibal因為個人因素，宣佈離開Rhye，從此成為Milosh的一人樂團；但是Milosh並未因此受有打擊，反而在音樂上與更多知名前輩有互動，促成他迅速地成長和累積大量經驗；經過將近5年的等待，Rhye終於釋出萬眾期盼的第二張專輯【Blood】。
【Blood】由Milosh一人包辦了所有詞曲創作，展現出了他全方位的音樂能力；主打歌曲之一的"Taste"，相較之前融入了更多的Electronic元素，並且將Milosh的歌喉與電子音符作了完美的牽引，形成一曲讓人驚豔的Downtempo傑作；首支主打歌曲"Please"充滿一貫的浪漫主義式Soul Pop風格，並且踩踏著慢板的歌曲行進，增添了音樂上的唯美氣息，而黑白色調的音樂錄影帶，也在YouTube上突破了百萬人次點閱；律動感十足的"Count To Five"，以Funk的背景音樂烘托出Milosh的跨界能力，並且滿載著令人驚嘆的黑人音樂精髓，處處充滿了靈韻氣息；除此之外，"Song For You"、"Stay Safe"、"Phoenix"等作品都是萬中選一的精采歌曲，現場演唱功力享譽全球的Rhye也將於5/22再次來台演出，想要感受樂壇最唯美浪漫的另類R&B、2018年最值得擁有的唱片，就是Rhye的【Blood】。
