NY Times wrote
“Michael Kiwanuka’s second album, ‘Love & Hate,’ is a sustained, stylized plunge into despair: plaints of isolation, doubt, lovelessness, racial injustice, longing, hopelessness and a certain resolve despite it all”, and NPR said
“Kiwanuka's vocals are as tender as ever, yet laced with a heavy dose of attitude. This is full-throated soul with swagger.”Love & Hate was recorded in Los Angeles and London produced by Grammy Award winning Brian Joseph Burton AKA Dangermouse and young up-and-coming producer Inflo.
