I saw Michael perform in Washington, DC. Feb.2020 just weeks before the Covid shutdown. I would pay to see him again. However, there are so many great performers who are not pop artist that I would pay to see. My list The Black Pumas, Marcus King, Robert Cray, Lucas Nelson, The Teskey Brothers, October London, The Revivalist, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Lee Fields, Chris Stapleton, Leon Bridges, on and on and on.
I listened to 4 minutes of this. Later at night, it was 3am, I woke up. I wrote down not one, not two, NOT three... not even FOUR... but SIX melodies AND lyrics drafts. Between 3 and 6 in the morning. Michael, I've been in this for 15 years, nothing got me inspired like your music. Keep the blues alive, 2020 style!
Chi non ha avuto la fortuna di assistere e vivere artisti come: Beatles, Marvin Gaye, ecc. ; Ora ha la fortuna di ascoltare e vedere questo grande artista.
My god. I haven't heard anything like this in years. Michael Kiwanuka is an also an alumni of the Uni of Westminster, did the same course in music as I did. I and so many of my peers can only dream about writing something which gives you chills in the way that his self titled album does.
whenever i listen to him sing, i feel pain and joy and holiness and safety and fragility and strength - all at the same time, and it always overwhelms me... It's like he's enabling me to get in touch with my own self and to allow myself all the emotions that i often don't acknowledge enough.
Great description. I couldn't put it into words, but you've done it perfectly. His music jerked at my heartstrings, and I have no idea why. Just perfect.
I'm a South Africa citizen. I am a big fan of the legendary, unique, brilliant jazz-mastermind, Hugh Masekela. I hold him in high regard. When I listen to you - Micheal Kiwanuka - I dare to say that I am reminded of Hugh. I get this feeling that I am listening to a unique, masterclass... candidate for legendary (ONE for the HISTORY BOOKS) artist. You're awesome my man. God Bless.
Wow F*cking Wow, blown away!! What an amazing artist!! And what a Sensational band!! And what great Hairstyles!! I'm almost a pensioner! and it's life affirming to see that the power of Music is alive and well!!and in good hands!!! Love and Peace people xx
I was on the concert by Michael Kiwanuka in Kyiv, Ukraine. And it was pure happiness. Absolutely beautiful backing vocals (gorgeous girls), unbelievable voices, tasty guitars, talented Michael... So, I wish to everyone 2 things: visit Ukraine, and visit Michael Kiwanuka's live! From whole of my heart.
@@wttthm thank you, my friend, I'm ok. But country is under the fire. russia disgusting and terrible things are going on here. We needs M270, MGM-140 ATACMS, HIMARS, M1A1 Abrams, F-16, F-18.
This guys style,his voice, his music everything about this guy is original and truly amazing,so why isnt this guy smashing records everywhere he goes. Wow just wow.❤👏 i really am astonished.
I was walking in the London tube train system when in one of the tunnels heading towards Bank platform I heard this loud noise behind me. Two lads walked past heading in the same direction as myself. The voice of the unknown artist was outstanding! I spoke to this chap playing his tunes out loud and asked who was the artist playing and he said Micheal Kiwanuka singing Cold Heart. I was hooked and had to fined out more and the rest, they say, is History!!
Michael Kiwanuka... that’s a name I’m planting into my ears and into my heart. Some of the most pleasing artistry I’ve met with in wayyyy too long. Shine brother!! ❤️
The sound on this is flawless! For a live gig, it's just astonishingly high quality... the performance, the instrument effects, the sound recording... not a note or a beat out of place - just so so good!!
I discovered Michael 8 years ago from a live performance video on UA-cam and he is one of my top artists. I still wouldn’t be able to see him live and that broke my heart. He is such an amazing singer/songwriter.
You changed my life I quit listening to Hard Rock and him and I quit drinking after years music has a bigger impact than anyone knows it is universal. Even animals love it watch people go out and play the violin or the piano for animals. A man in the middle of the Desert in Africa said everything is vibration and tone. That's what scientists say hello
I saw him two weeks ago in Philly. Just an amazing show. It was a Monday in February, and the place was packed and the atmosphere was electric. The band and the audience wee feeding off each other and it was a great energy. Michael sounded amazing, of course. He has quietly put together a really strong catalog, which makes a huge difference in concert.
Absolutely adore Michael Kiwanuka's music. His ability (along with the other musicians with all due respect) to activate emotions and genuine feelings throughout his compositions just blows my mind that I just started listen to him not even a year ago.
To Micheal and Band, since I heard your song in ‚ 4:59 7seconds‘. I‘m your Fan and i thank for your talents each time i listen to you 🙏❤️ Thank you 4ever ❤️
"Am I a hero...am I hero now?".......I'd say just about now with this fantastic third album. There are so many influences in it I can't keep track.....Viva Michael the hero.
Wie viel mehr Gefühl kam vor Jahren noch durch, wenn sie sangen! Er trug seine zusammengebastelten Hemden, ganz wie am Anfang! Das fand ich sensationell, genau wie seine unverwechselbare Stimme! Michael, bleib bei diesen kleineren Auftritten, damit du dich nicht verlierst! 🥰
Bin ganz deiner Meinung! Die ersten Studioaufnahmen waren die besten! Sein zusammengebastelte Hemd fand ich toll und mutig. Auch hatte er mit einem Strick seinen Gitarrenschultergurt verlängert. Arm damals, aber reiche gefühlvolle Musik! 🥰
High on music and truth , miles apart , LOVE will NOT SURRENDER TO PAIN , FEMALE TRIED , BUT MEN AND MOM ONCE TOOK .. HOPE TO SEE AND THANK YOU LIVE , ART A GIFT A GLOBAL UNITED SOUL
Wow, just a big WOW, I love Michael Kiwanuka. I lost the love of my life 5 years ago to stage IV lung cancer. We both loved MK and always danced around the house to his music. I play his music a lot and am instantly transcended back to my soul mates smile, laughter and arms. Thank you Michael for sharing your musical artistry with the world.
When your legs at door …..but you won’t to leave this Clubs Corner ,it means : it’s something happened in your Head ,what irreparable stays….your feeling for a life is thanks the music changing…..Your Soul is FULFILLED !
Oh, wow, such a beautiful voice you got, Michael..."webalile dala mwanyinaze" ...thanks so much bro/homeboy)... .... Could listen to you sing all day...can't believe just landed on your music by mistake... make us proud... congrats Uganda 🇺🇬
Please don't let anything happen to You - suddenly I am so scared - watch out - be caring to Yourself - for many years to come- for Your family, your friends and a little bit for me 🙏
i could listen to this concert a thousand times. so far I've replayed it 9. please come to Mexico. you're the best musician around these days, you're my hero
that epic intro of You ain´t a problem sounds like smiling guy running on the dusty road under the shining sun somewhere in the Keney or anywhere in the Africa ... positive vibes coming outta your roots, Mike .... looooove it!!!! Keep the Motown vibe alive !!!!! ... a soulfunk drumming greetings from Czech republic
How isn't Michael more famous? Especially in the UK as one of our own? Unbelievable that I only heard about him last year after hearing this song over a football compilation. I was convinced this was maybe something from the 70's-90's and why I hadn't heard of him. We really should be putting this kind of talent front and centre. Haven't heard such soulful, emotion-inducing music in such a long time.
I found him with Animal Kingdom with Love&Hate fell in love with the song then started following in spotify. Mind blowing. I'll see him January 24th. I'm so excited ☺️
What a fantastic artist. So cool in his understatement. I love your music Michael and I'm rooting for you to win the Mercury Music Prize this year. Good luck! 😁

Kiwanuka and Jon Batiste are the only artists’ I’d pay to see these days,real musicians,real songwriters,real singers.

Michael Kiwanuka we love you and we love your music. 🙏🏽 god bless you
How this dude isn't far more well known is near criminal. Keep filling this world with light and love, MK!
I need him to be more well know so he can come to South America hahaha
dude this video has 5 million views
@@billybuckmusic not enough
Think the same. I can;t believe that mainstream music is acutally like showbusiness. Nothing for soul, everything for money and primitivity.
❤
You know you have a hell of a musician when the live versions are even better than the CD recording, just love the strings. And what a voice!
I couldn’t like this comment more!
Heard this for the first time, listened on Spotify and came back here to listen because it’s so much more rich
seen him live 3 times. He's even better live and direct. and he's damn fine on his recordings.
He is amazing

Well said ❤️
Beautiful statement ❤️
You hit the nail on the head. Thats how i feel when i hear him. I have both Albums and i feel that way when i hear all of his songs
Great description. I couldn't put it into words, but you've done it perfectly. His music jerked at my heartstrings, and I have no idea why. Just perfect.

If you need one thing positive in 2019, then purchase this dudes album. A ray of light in troublesome times.
Keep doing your thang Michael.
This guys style,his voice, his music everything about this guy is original and truly amazing,so why isnt this guy smashing records everywhere he goes. Wow just wow.❤👏
i really am astonished.
The performance of Light pierces straight into the core of my being. Such a beautiful piece of music in this mad world
When the music you didn't even know you were looking for, suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks.

One of the best live performances I've heard. A deserving winner of the Mercury Prize.
Sure is one of the best recorded live concerts ever, I hope he does more like this
I'm an atheist but-Jesus Christ Michael 🤯 im coming to see you wherever you are
This is, hands down, the best version of Light.
Agreed!!
It's crazy how much this man breathes authenticity.
For me, the new one entitled KIWANUKA is the record of the year !!
Not just an amazing musician but a fantastic gentle and authentic human being. So happy at the Mercury Prize!
Music is the only redeeming quality humanity can lay claim to.
And tacos... let's not forget tacos
This is great. I saw Michael crossing a road in Shaftesbury Avenue in February 2017. Wish I had said something as I love his music.
The youtube rabbit hole did it again. I love discovering great new music!
Lol me too i call it the You Tube Auto Play Broken Algorithm that Oddly Plays Better Music for me than if it actually worked
Michael Kiwanuka... that’s a name I’m planting into my ears and into my heart. Some of the most pleasing artistry I’ve met with in wayyyy too long. Shine brother!! ❤️
Criminally underrated artist. Damn… some amazing stuff. More please.
Such a beautiful God given talent! Words can't express the way his music makes me feel. Much Love!
The sound on this is flawless! For a live gig, it's just astonishingly high quality... the performance, the instrument effects, the sound recording... not a note or a beat out of place - just so so good!!
Such a soul stirring voice. One of the best vocals and music I ever heard in recent times.
I can't how many times I've listened to this set, love it.
IKR I want to have it in my car for trips and traffic jam
I discovered Michael 8 years ago from a live performance video on UA-cam and he is one of my top artists. I still wouldn’t be able to see him live and that broke my heart. He is such an amazing singer/songwriter.
What a tune hero is.
Simple lyrics but yet so beautifully put together.
I feel like it is heavily inspired by Jimi Hendrix
@@TheAlexia. he has always said that Hendrix was an influence. His music reflects so many influences, but mostly, himself.
