    The whole world needs more Kiwanuka! I'm glad I listen to NPR, I've been introduced to the best music that way. The first time I heard Michael, I almost forgot to breathe. I felt like I was taken to a different place for those minutes, a place I didn't want to leave.

      i felt the same way...so rare and amazing when it happens. Oddly sounds like very early Crosby Stills Nash & Young...those beautiful harmonies

      @@melisalevine1981 You're right! CSN was one of my favorite bands when I was a teen. I had a massive pair of good quality headphones my Dad gave me and I'd listen to those harmonies and get lost in them. I do get the same kind of experience from Michael's music. Good observation!

    Every once in awhile an artist produces a song or music that is so pure that your inner soul takes notice. When that happens you have such an out of body experience that time flies by and before you know it, you've hit the rewind/replay button more than you thought you did and all of a sudden you've lost track of time.

    Brother Michael going from strength to strength since his first record! It's hard to decide which album has touched me more, KIWANUKA or Love and Hate.
    Always a fan, brother.
    Sing it loud, black and proud.
