Cinnamon Gum

Cinnamon Gum is the stage name of Maciej Milewski – a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Gdańsk, Poland.

Growing up in Poland, Milewski’s father played saxophone in a big band on a cruise ship, making transatlantic journeys across the Caribbean every six months. With each voyage, young Maciej eagerly awaited his father’s return, knowing he’d bring back treasures that were nearly impossible to find in Poland at the time, namely cinnamon-flavored chewing gum and soul music CDs.

These small gifts planted the seeds of Milewski’s lifelong passion for funk and soul music.

Today, Cinnamon Gum’s distinctive voice has made him the most in-demand soul performer in Poland, captivating audiences nationwide with his dynamic live band (featuring Maciej on Guitar and Vocals, Dorothy and Renee on Background Vocals, Tommy Jr. on Keys, Ignacio on Percussion, Stan on Drums, Tony on Bass and Al Jacob behind the sound boards).

His breakout 2024 album, The Cinnamon Show, caught the attention of That’s Love Records co-founder Alejandro Garcia, who was intrigued by the possibility of including him on the new label’s roster.

That’s Love Records is proud to present the latest 45 from Cinnamon Gum, recorded in collaboration with producer Max Shrager (54 Ultra, Céline Dessberg), entitled “Sweet Honey” b/w “Nothing That I Know.” The A-side delivers a tasty spoonful of upbeat soul, while the B-side is a tender ballad showcasing Cinnamon Gum’s soaring falsetto and finely tuned melodic sensibilities.
