Michael Kiwanuka Shares New Mix of Brittany Howard’s “13th Century Metal”: Listen

Brittany Howard’s song “13th Century Metal” has received a new mix from Michael Kiwanuka. Listen to his version of the Jaime track below.

“I was so excited to get to work on this project as I’ve always been a big fan of Brittany’s music,” Kiwanuka said in a statement. “Knowing this particular track and being such a fan of her voice, I wanted to not meddle with her voice, and then to make it front and center. She sounds so victorious when she sings and speaks, so the music I made was governed by that.”

The end of 2020 has brought good news for both Brittany Howard and Michael Kiwanuka: Kiwanuka won the 2020 Mercury Prize for his album KIWANUKA. He’s also up for Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammys. Howard earned five 2021 Grammy nominations, including nods for Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best R&B Performance, and Best American Roots Performance.
