Dec 4, 2019Highly over-rated album. Not BAD but not worth listening to IMO. Nothing special. Sonically it is scratchy and annoying, so... why would I want to listen to music that SOUNDS unpleasant.

Nov 15, 2019It’s very easy for a reviewer to play armchair warrior and forward claims for all sorts of nonsense for music they like. But this is a glorious, heart-stopping, essential album. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by it.

Nov 14, 2019Kiwanuka could very well be one of the best albums of 2019. But Kiwanuka is also a beautiful, deep place that feels like it will be worth visiting, not just in the last month of this year, but throughout a listener's lifetime.

Nov 12, 2019An album that could have been a grueling downer from start to finish. Instead, it’s a testament to perseverance, determination and a vivid creative imagination from an artist who seems to have finally found himself, and that’s profound enough.
