Tiwayo - Outsider

NEW VINYL LP ON RECORD KICKS 2026

180 GRAM VINYL LP

Nicknamed “The Young Old” for a voice that carries timeless weight, Paris-born soul singer and songwriter Tiwayo returns with Outsider, a powerful new album produced by Grammy winner Adrián Quesada of the Black Pumas. Set for release worldwide on April 10, 2026, Outsider marks the triumphant comeback of a bohemian spirit who has busked and traveled across the world, absorbing the blues, soul, and gospel roots that continue to shape his music.

On Outsider, Tiwayo reflects on what it means to be an artist (“I’ve Got to Travel Alone”), slyly grooves on “Up for Soul”, celebrates everyday beauty (“Sunshine Lady,” “My House Is Your Home”), and finds resilience in loss (“Dark Skies”). With tight grooves and vivid storytelling, the album is both intimate and collective, deeply human and unflinchingly honest.

Tiwayo doesn’t play by the genre’s rules. He stands apart: a Frenchman in Texas, a soul singer with a bluesman’s heart, a traveler who never quite belongs anywhere. In a world of polished revivals, Tiwayo embraces being the outsider—an anti-hero of soul who proves that the raw and unvarnished carry the deepest power.
