5.0 out of 5 stars 5 out of 5 stars: A proper follow-up of grandiose melancholy to 2016's Love & Hate
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020
Verified Purchase
In 2016, British soul singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka released his heavy-hearted, heavily lauded sophomore album Love & Hate, teaming up with a strong trio of producers in Danger Mouse, Inflo, & Paul Butler. Danger Mouse & Inflo return for Kiwanuka’s eponymous follow-up in 2019. Despite three years passing, nothing about the rich, dark textures and somber material has changed. If anything, those elements to set the mood way down have been turned way up.

Given the content -- fleeting love, racism, denial, uncertainty -- it’s apropos, as Kiwanuka earnestly attempts to face the perennial troubles of the world. For 51 minutes, Kiwanuka lays his despondent cards on the table and bears his soul in search of redemption and reconciliation. Lyrically, few have done it better. See “Piano Joint (This Kind of Love)” (“Could you stay with me? / Don’t Let me go / Sadness and fury is all I know”) or “Solid Ground” (“When it gets hard, I will roll those sleeves / Life can be so unkind / I will be found on the edge of the world / Where there'll be no one around”) for proof.

The palpable defeat can be overwhelming at times. Fortunately, no one makes downtrodden sound so gorgeous like Danger Mouse, and he encapsulates Kiwanuka’s loneliness and despair with perfect flourishes of haunting strings, icy electric piano, bottomed-out basslines, and gospel choirs.

With a mutual adoration for the slow-burning melancholy, you’d be hard pressed to find an artist and a producer better suited for each other than Kiwanuka and Danger Mouse. Here’s to hoping the partnership continues.

IF YOU ONLY TRY ONE SONG: “Piano Joint (This Kind of Love)”

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb album

This is probably one of the best cd's I've purchased in the last few years. Not only is the recording a excellent, the music and vocals are great! I have listened straight through the whole thing a few times on my way to and from work the last week. It's rare to enjoy an entire album these days, and that really says something about the quality of it. You ain't the problem, and Rolling I can repeat, however, Hero is the song that repeats through my mind when I'm at work. It really caught my attention. With the trend being a majority of music being digital, it's such a relief to hear full bands. And to hear acoustic guitars, as well as an electric on a fuzz pedal giving that 60's-70's Hendrix-y vibe or R&B sound like Four Tops. Michael Kiwanuka hits another homerun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does not disappoints

MK's third album is a keeper. On Kinwanuka, he continues to mine the elegiac territory established on Home Again and Love and Heat but now set within a broad cinematic-soul type soundscape that especially colored Love and Hate. The arrangements and production are more confident and self assured. Dangermouse and Ino who produced the last album mix in subtle electronic and found sound elements which are seamlessly woven into the tracks adding a nice aural depth. Songs flow into one another creating a sense of a whole project that should be listened to in one sitting. A beautiful record that does not disappoint.

Michael Kiwanuka rejuvenates the soul with inspiring words and sounds of musical genius. His band and producers are amazing. First album I have bought in years. Michael Kiwanuka crosses over genres, style and exceeds far beyond today's mediocre music scene. Retro soul/rock with a new flavor.

I have enjoyed every track. His lyrics and instrument arrangements are delightful. Piano Joint is is deep dark blues. I've been Dazed is lighter and electronic.

O mundo precisa conhecer mais as músicas de Kiwanuka. Há muito tempo um artista não me abalava tanto. Esse CD é perfeito do início ao fim. Músicas e letras belíssimas. Num mundo mais justo Kiwanuka seria a nova Adele...

Reviewed in France on March 11, 2020

Après un premier album très bien reçu, Home Again, le succès stratosphérique de son second, Love & Hate, déjà produit par Danger Mouse et Inflo, il est temps pour Michael Kiwanuka de se frotter à l'exercice de la confirmation avec, présentement, un album dans lequel il s'est tellement investi, artistiquement et émotionnellement, qu'il l'a titré de son patronyme, Kiwanuka.

Sans surprise, on retrouve le Michael Kiwanuka du précédent opus mais avec quelques évolutions sur un album qui réussit à être à la fois plus direct et plus intime. Évidemment, on y entend cette soul mâtinée de rock (et d'un poil de jazz et de psychédélisme ici) mais on y perçoit aussi la nouvelle influence, et quelle influence !, du regretté Gil-Scott Heron, diffuse mais tellement présente jusque dans les thèmes abordés par des paroles offrant plus de gravité que le son de l'album ne le laisserait penser.

Parce que le son et l'atmosphère de Kiwanuka regorgent d'amour universel, d'odes à la beauté d'être là, dans un monde où pourtant rien n'est simple (fils de réfugiés ougandais, il en sait quelque chose). On apprécie particulièrement l'usage des chœurs, discrets mais omniprésents à la fois, une sorte de texture qui remplace avantageusement ce qu'aurait pu faire un synthétiseur.

Organique, l'album l'est jusque dans son usage de l'électronique, tour de force !, mais aussi par la présence de cordes émouvantes (I've Been Dazed et Piano Joint sont juste magnifiques dans ce registre) mais c'est surtout la voix de Michael qui emporte le morceau. Délicate, et profondément soul, elle est la caresse auditive qu'il nous faut pour nous apaiser des petits tracas du quotidien.

Voilà, je n'ai rien d'autre à dire sur cet album si ce n'est qu'il s'écoute de bout en bout sans qu'on y détecte la moindre faute de gout, la moindre faiblesse dans les compositions ou l'ordonnancement d'icelles (le flow de l'album est admirable). Kiwanuka est la promesse de lendemains qui continueront de chanter et la confirmation qu'on tient bien là un artiste d'exception qui transcende les genres tout en restant sur une base soul.

Recommandé ? Un peu plus que ça même, à ne surtout pas rater !
