In The Spotlight

Tiwayo – “I’ve Got To Travel Alone”

Grown up in the suburbs of Paris, this French singer and songwriter travels between France and the United States to immerse himself in the American soul scene. Named after the initials of his nickname, The Young Old, he opened for artists like Curtis Harding and Gregory Porter. His unique style has been celebrated by luminaries like Norah Jones and Don Was. Drawing inspiration from classic soul voices such as Nina Simone, Otis Redding and Janis Joplin, he debuted with “Wild” in 2018.

Singing about continuing to pursue your goal while everyday life might feel discouraging, his new single captures true resilience and self-determination. Taken from his upcoming album “Outsider”, expected on April 10, 2026, the song finds a balance between old-school Memphis soul and contemporary rawness. With a gritty rhythm, dusty keys and stirring guitars laying down the nostalgia-infused melody, it’s his timeless vocal blend of soul, blues and R&B that will touch your soul.
