Every time this man sings, I believe him. Soulful and from the heart.

[TandemKnights]

This is simple singer/songwriter beauty from another time, he reminds me of Bill Withers. Terrific!

[LazyIRanch]

The whole world needs more Kiwanuka! I'm glad I listen to NPR, I've been introduced to the best music that way. The first time I heard Michael, I almost forgot to breathe. I felt like I was taken to a different place for those minutes, a place I didn't want to leave.

Beautiful ❤ The background singers are amazing, too!

Every once in awhile an artist produces a song or music that is so pure that your inner soul takes notice. When that happens you have such an out of body experience that time flies by and before you know it, you've hit the rewind/replay button more than you thought you did and all of a sudden you've lost track of time.

Finally. Real music. The way it should be. This guy is amazing. I can feel this music throughtout. Thank you, Stephen. Thank you, Michael.

Brother Michael going from strength to strength since his first record! It's hard to decide which album has touched me more, KIWANUKA or Love and Hate.
Always a fan, brother.
Sing it loud, black and proud.

[Usapatriette]

Michael Kiwanuka’s music is never boring. Talent galore. Love the backup singers too. Their voices blend so well with his.

A master of his craft. The background singers are angelic. The keyboard work adds the final haunting element.

Man, that's amazing. Him, his guitar, the two choristers...better than studio version.

Unreal composer; amazing guitarist and singer.
