Michael-Kiwanuka-HD-for-DC

After his acclaimed debut, UK soul singer Michael Kiwanuka took time to figure out what he wanted to say next. He partnered with producer Danger Mouse to create Love and Hate, and you can hear his growth as an artist as he explores his heritage and issues like race and spirituality. I knew from the first listen to it that Love and Hate is a track I would return to each day. Michael Kiwanuka’s vocal potency on this track is mesmerizing- a transcendent, cross-cultural groove for 2020 and beyond. The “Cold Little Heart (Live Session) ” track that mesmerizes with gradual build-up is the one to play as a wake-up call or wind-down service at night.  Note that Kiwanuka is a timeless soul singer for this or any age of our soul revolution. 

Kiwanuka is a soul singer in every sense of the “Soul Singer description. Kiwanuka sings from the deepest part of his beautiful heart.

Lyrics

Did you ever want it?
Did you want it bad?
Ohhh, my
It tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain
So much pride
Running through my veins

Bleeding, I’m bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can’t stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Did you ever notice
I’ve been ashamed
All my life
I’ve been playing games
We can try and hide it
It’s all the same
I’ve been losing you
One day at a time

Bleeding, I’m bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can’t stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I’m probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
But thinking about where I’ve been
Ain’t helping me start

I slowly lost my husband of 42 years slowly to cancer, my one, my only, and my last love… Michael, you are a gift to us all! Your music cuts straight through the depths of my heart. My heartbreak of loss, you have just helped me release, as my tears flow down my face, l am so touched by your music. l have been holding back for so long, a pain that will never go away, only strengthens all my love and thoughts of the most wonderful life we shared for so long… My dog Skyler and l are alone now… l lost my husband, Cody, our 17-year-old healer mix, Casey, our 18.5-year dog, my cat Cali who was killed the week he died, and her brother to cancer all in this short period… Heartbreak only makes us stronger to help us manage our journeys throughout the rest of our life! 💔🐾❤️ You become more forgiving, tolerant, and loving of so many others. LIFE IS TO SHORT … Forgive, move forward, and Love everyone!
Love, Love, Love you and your music! Thank you so very, very much for all your gifts! 💔🐾 Melanie and my dog Skyler
