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.

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
