About this item

Paris-born soul singer and songwriter Tiwayo, nicknamed “The Young Old” for his timeless, lived-in voice, announces the release of a limited edition 45 vinyl featuring two standout tracks from his forthcoming album Outsider — produced by Grammy Award winner Adrian Quesada of the Black Pumas.

The 7-inch single pairs the up-tempo soul stomper “Up For Soul” on the A-side with the radiant and heartwarming “Sunshine Lady” on the B-side. Pressed in a limited run of 500 copies worldwide, this is a must have for funk/soul djs and collectors.

“I wanted the album to have an uptempo track that really moved,” says Tiwayo about “Up For Soul.” “One afternoon I was listening to Sly Stone and Johnny Guitar Watson, and by the end of the day, this song was born. It’s a playful take on the ups and downs of being a musician — the hustle, the joy, and the chaos — all wrapped in 70s soul energy.” Recorded with Adrian Quesada and featuring a lush string arrangement by Sly5thAve, the track is a testament to Tiwayo’s ability to make classic soul sound fresh and alive.

Both tracks preview Tiwayo’s highly anticipated third album, Outsider, due April 10, 2026 — a collaboration between Tiwayo and Adrian Quesada that bridges Parisian soul with Austin’s raw southern heat.
