Son Little's music pushes gospel and blues into the 21st century with guitar processing, including backward drones, and choirs made from his looped voice. As wonderful as his 2015 self-titled album sounds, having him at the Tiny Desk with his acoustic guitar and unprocessed voice, accompanied only by his soulful singing sister, Megan Livingston, and percussionist Jabari Exum was gently uplifting. The man born Aaron Livingston is the son of a preacher and knows how to deliver, how to connect directly to the heart. His sound is wonderfully universal, and here, at the Tiny Desk, magnificently subtle.
Son Little is available now.

Son Little is an act that people in the future will discover and obsess about. Pure, raw talent. People in the present should give him his flowers while he's still here to smell them.

Pure genius. Michael Kiwanuka and Son Little are the new generation of Bill Withers, Al Green, and Otis Redding. Absolute soul. Thanks for keeping music alive Son 👊

Idk what took me so long but I finally just googled "artists like Michael Kiwanuka" and Son Little was the first name that popped up and now I'm hooked.
