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!

Second Listen: "Worry Walks Beside Me" (Michael Kiwanuka)

Michael Kiwanuka upped his worldwide musical profile when he opening up for Adele during the iTunes Festival back in 2011 and while he is still breaking into the US market, I think his talents truly deserve a solid shot.

With that said, his EP entitled "Tell Me a Tale (The Isle of Wight Sessions)," features one of my favorites from Michael in the form of "Worry Walks Beside Me." "Worry Walks Beside Me" is a great bluesy torch ballad from Kiwanuka that deserves to be listen several times. Listen below and Enjoy!
