After his acclaimed debut, UK soul singer Michael Kiwanuka took some 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 know from the first listen that Love and Hate is a track that I would return to each day. The potency of Michael Kiwanuka’s vocal on this track is mesmerizing- a transcendent, cross-cultural groove for 2020 and beyond.
Kiwanuka is a soul singer in every sense of the “Soul Singer” description. Kiwanuka sings from the deepest part of his beautiful heart.

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
