Michael Kiwanuka - Live At The Mildmay Club

[@Asmoogle]

Michael Kiwanuka we love you and we love your music. 🙏🏽 god bless you

[@martinone9]

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

[@j.a.y.4875]

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.

[@sinasoule6727]

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.

[@cheechchong3021]

Well said ❤️

[@adalouisepoons5788]

Beautiful statement ❤️

[@sineadtomkins4573]

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

[@alk3345]

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.

[@raychapman6500]

word to my momma

[@bleedingpopcorn6]

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.

[@personnumber42]

insanely talented for sure. Maybe as a fellow alum he'd be up for a coffee meetup :)

[@depthsoflaze]

I couldn't stop crying. Your music is my soul in music. Thank you for existing. Love and light to you

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.

[@jas_bataille]

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!

[@tonyfleck3029]

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

[@thamsanqamsiza4885]

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.

[@whereisvanuatu]

This is, hands down, the best version of Light.

[@jamiegriffith9141]

Agreed!!

[@flemisholive9037]

It's crazy how much this man breathes authenticity.

[@Lve2face]

The performance of Light pierces straight into the core of my being. Such a beautiful piece of music in this mad world

[@davidsnoswell1892]

One of the best live performances I've heard. A deserving winner of the Mercury Prize.

[@RichardMartinke6rji]

Sure is one of the best recorded live concerts ever, I hope he does more like this

[@rebeccacohen5654]

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.

[@tizianodanilorosato3130]

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.

[@29CdoSnipes]

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!!

[@keenasira]

Criminally underrated artist. Damn… some amazing stuff. More please.

[@MrPiepmatz1]

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! 🥰

[@MrPiepmatz1]

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! 🥰

[@johngarcia5657]

Who else thinks his back up singers are perfect in every which way?

[@timbeddoe]

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.

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.
