Michael is the greatest talent to come out in the last 20 years. I am 67 and have been listening to music since the womb. This young man "has it" and "gets it".....hard to explain but that's where I'm at.

So many people say music is dead but they just haven't explored enough, this is easily the best time for music there has ever been. So many incredible artists

I was in a clothing store yesterday, not paying particular attention to the overhead music until this song came on. I stopped what i was doing and did a quick web search. I came home and i think I've listened to it 10 times now. This song has touched my soul in a way I haven't had in years❤❤❤

"Love & Hate" was the sound of an artist spreading his wings. "Kiwanuka" is the sound of artist taking flight and soaring high above the clouds.

This is one of those songs you can simply keep on replay for hours.

When I first heard this I was driving….made me pull over and say just WOW….BRILLIANT

Much Respect Mr. Michael. You are a Gifted Man & an Old Soul.

Майкл, часто переслушиваю эту песню, и каждый раз восхищаюсь ей. Она великолепна!

Just came across Michael for the first time, on this evenings Graham Norton show. For me that’s a nice background show while I surf or whatever, but my ears pricked up when Michael started performing and I immediately started thinking of some of the all time great soul/folk/rock performers like Richie Havens, Hendrix, and above all, that great, great poet Bill Withers. All of whom, it turns out, are influences. Michael, you do all of them justice!

You know when you come across a gem. One of the 2020 tunes.

Today is the first day I've heard this music. I cant believe he's not on every single radio in the world. Such talent and his voice is the best.

One day I decided to turn to the local public radio station. This song came up and at first I was like "meh" but by the end had Shazammed it. And I'm so glad I did because micheal Kiwanuka is amazing.

Almost on my knees crying for someone I lost during my first hearing of this masterpiece!

That old skool soul music 😎

I wish he would play "all along the watchtower" 😍

YESSIR!!! We're back in time when music had meaning and was worth listening 🎧 to!!!

I've only discovered Michael afew months ago (my loss) my biggest musical heroes are led zeppelin Janis Joplin and the Beatles...love all types of music ....cant put in words how much this genius music has touch me ...one of the top musicians of all time easily ..piano joint is probably. Now in my top 3 songs of all time pure class

Heard this on Steve Wright in the Afternoon today while driving home from work... blown away!

This is old school voice people!! Love from Hellas🇬🇷
