A gentle and earnest hymn to humanity woven by Michael Kiwanuka.
An organic and introspective debut album that brings the spirit of 60s and 70s soul and folk music back to the modern day.
The dry, refined vocals and the minimal sound create a quiet yet powerful vibration in the listener's heart. This is an important work of 21st century soul music, combining a sense of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city with a sincere pursuit of one's roots.
