Just when we though Michael Kiwanuka couldn't get any smoother, he goes and does something like this...

A live performance of Led Zeppelin's classic song 'Whole Lotta Love', complete with Sitar, done in the BBC's legendary Maida Vale studio. And Michael's all like, 'whatever, it's cool man'.

No wonder he just topped the BBC Sounds Of 2012 poll.

And just to add fuel to the fire, here's a clip of him performing solo in a vineyard. He's so good, even the weather starts to groove with him. Seriously, there's rolling thunder in the background and it just adds to the song, instead of ruining it.

Our goal for 2012 is to be more like Michael Kiwanuka.
