Following his 2012 debut World, You Need A Change of Mind, an album of open-hearted pop-slash-R&B also notable for featuring a cover of the Eastenders theme tune, Kindness returns this autumn with his second album, Otherness.
Taking inspiration from the lofty-minded likes of D’Angelo, Herbie Hancock, Prince, Sade, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Kate Bush and Ryuichi Sakamoto, the new record features several outside collaborators including, on super-funky lead track ‘World Restart’, R&B newcomer Kelela and singer Ade Omotayo.
Robyn, Dev Hynes, Tawiah and M.anifest also feature, and the record was mixed by Jimmy Douglass, Blue May and Bainbridge himself.
