PRESS ON KIWANUKA

"a muscular, multilayered declaration of self-worth and reliance from an artist who has been open about his insecurities, both as a "Black Man in a White World," as he put it in a trenchant 2016 song, and as a rock and soul singer who was born into the wrong decade."- NEW YORK TIMES, BEST ALBUMS OF 2019

"On his third album, this London-born son of Ugandan immigrants fully secures his place as an heir to socially conscious dreamers like Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers. KIWANUKA is a song-suite that employs myriad musical palettes to explore the way culturally inherited trauma can invade the psyche, with love, self-awareness and righteous protest as the routes to soul survival." - NPR, TOP ALBUMS OF 2019

"Michael Kiwanuka's 3rd album is expressive wonder, an extremely successful example of being able to truly express yourself while possessing the talent in and around you for it to be more than a mere vanity exercise." - ASSOCIATED PRESS

"his most fully-formed work, a meditative, expansive collection of synth-psych, blues-rock, stately folk that amounts to an early-career opus" - ROLLING STONE

"Kiwanuka treats songs like ecosystems that stretch and flower after sunlight and soil tilling." - PITCHFORK

"one of the greatest albums of the decade" - THE GUARDIAN, 5 STARS

"Michael Kiwanuka remains one of this generation's most restless, creative and genre expanding musicians" - AMERICAN SONGWRITER

""Big Little Lies", a mini-series, lifted Michael Kiwanuka's profile higher than ever; he capitalised with his best album yet. He expanded his style of jazzy soul to include fuzzy psychedelia, lush orchestration and pounding R'n'B. It lent itself to dinner-party playings, but closer listening revealed it to be an album wracked by doubt, looking for something to justify hope in desperate times. It was the triumph he had never quite managed before." - THE ECONOMIST, BEST ALBUMS OF 2019

"Every song on Michael Kiwanuka's, Kiwanuka, is a classic either from this time or another. His songwriting talent only grows stronger and more beautiful with each release, as does the depth of the production. Love, loss, race, humanity and warmth - it is all here." - KCRW, BEST OF 2019
