LP – Limited Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Produced by Adrain Quesada. Only 1500 copies pressed for worldwide. 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 Adrin Quesada (Black Pumas). Set for release worldwide on April 10, 2026, Outsider will be available on black LP and CD digipack. 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.Celebrated by musical luminaries including Norah Jones, Marcus Miller, Tony Visconti, and Don Was,Tiwayo built a reputation opening stages for Sting, Seal, and Marcus Miller. After the acclaimed debut album The Gypsy Soul of Tiwayo on legendary Blue Note Records Tiwayo had nearly vanished from the scene before Adrian Quesada heard his demos and pulled him back into the spotlight. Their paths crossed at Frances Les Eurockennes festival, leading Tiwayo from Paris to Austin and into Adrian Quesadas Electric Deluxe Studio. There, he and Quesada forged a raw, genre-bending take on soul, with contributions from Black Pumas members and other leading lights of the retro-soul scene. Doyle Bramhall II, longtime Eric Clapton collaborator, lends guitar to three tracks, including Daddy Was Born with the Blues, Tiwayos tribute to his late father, enriched by strings from Sly5thAve. Brooklyns Kendra Morris (Colemine Records) joins him for Unchained Lovers, a velvet-smooth duet steeped in Hi Records southern tradition. While many modern retro-soul acts lean toward Motown polish, Tiwayos sound remains raw, uncompromising, and rooted in Southern soul traditions a lineage he once touched firsthand when meeting the Reverend Al Green in Memphis.On Outsider, Tiwayo reflects on what it means to be an artist (Ive 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 doesnt play by the genres rules. He stands apart: a Frenchman in Texas, a soul singer with a bluesmans 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.
