Michael Kiwanuka Kiwanuka

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "His third offering is his most fully-formed work, a meditative, expansive collection of synth-psych, blues-rock, stately folk that amounts to an early-career opus for the 32 year-old singer-songwriter."
"KIWANUKA is structured in movements, like a classical symphony, with shape-shifting interludes connecting one track to the next."
5 stars out of 5 -- "As with each of his albums to date, Kiwanuka navigates the past and the present, skilfully making sounds and subjects appear both classic and contemporary at once."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Its best songs are as direct as Kiwanuka's gaze. The synth-anchored 'Solid Ground' almost chokes on its anguish until the strings offer solace."
Clash (Magazine) - "The project's full of soul-drenched songs, some with a funk element, powered by production from Brian 'Danger Mouse' Burton and British hip-hop producer Inflo, this making for an expanse of different sounds to match Kiwanuka's wide-ranging lyrical inspirations."
