New Video: "Black Man In A White World" (Michael Kiwanuka)

British soul singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka announced yesterday that his sophomore album Love & Hate is slated for release May 27th. A followup to his 2012 debut Home Again, Love & Hate promises to be a more experimental than his debut as a press release references a 10-minute "opus" akin to Pink Floyd.

Either way the rest of the album turns out, the lead single "Black Man In A White World" is a powerful anthem and the accompanying music video which was shot in LA is just as powerful. Watch Michael's powerful video for "Black Man In A White World" below and Enjoy!
