Follow-Up to Acclaimed 2012 Debut Home Again Produced by Dangermouse & Inflo

Michael Kiwanuka’s highly anticipated second album Love & Hate was recorded in Los Angeles and London and produced by Grammy Award winner Brian Joseph Burton aka Dangermouse and young up and coming producer Inflo. Love & Hate is a fascinatingly assured and resonant body of work following Kiwanuka’s acclaimed 2012 debut LP, Home Again.

Where that album invited comparisons to the likes of Bill Withers and Otis Redding, Michael’s new album struts to a much more psychedelic, freeform beat. The peerless ten-minute opus “Cold Little Heart” evokes the haze of Pink Floyd in its unhurried slow-burn, while “Falling” is a soaring gospel number for the 21st century. There are standout tunes throughout, but Love & Hate is an album that genuinely deserves to be listened to as one, littered as it is with ‘headphones moments’ that require real attention to the light and shade of its creation.
