Michael Kiwanuka

Kiwanuka's first album.

3/4 (Good).

Laid-back and pleasant. Real nice singing. A lot of the songs sound a little too familiar, and the production is underwhelming after hearing Love & Hate.

Easily the best new album I've heard this year so far - so good I've decided to start rating albums again, just so I could give this one its fittingly great score.
