    When I heard this on the radio I genuinely thought it was classic soul/rhythm and blues. Think I've found a new favourite sound.

      It is reminiscent of early soul/RnB - takes me back to my youth. I love this and all his other music I have heard so far :)

      Me too. I love his voice and clean language.
      Race to express who we are, to me is not a subject. We're all humans, good or bad. It is a shame that when we talk about somebody we have to use the color of our skin for some fools to understand who we/they are.

    he has so much musicality, laden with musical integrity, i hear blues jazz and even deep south louisiana folk. so so proud of this young man with a deep conscious soul. His music is subtlyevocative and evokess and era gone by. Well done michael for fusing both worlds. A modern classic for sure.

    This song makes me smile thinking of one of the best things of my 11 years in Baltimore: the joy of a black man smile, the warmth of their words, the flow of their moves, the amazing style to carry on with dignity in a society that discriminates against them. I fell in love with their culture and their pride.

El mundo de la música popular no está decayendo despues de todo.

      Me, I am so sad. They want all us black people dead, here in Brazil happens the same. We had also a recent case in Rio with a black boy called João Pedro. I'm tired of this!

    We all have certain parts of history we connect with for whatever reason. In my opinion he his choosing to tell a story that is not necessarily his own. In doing so he is paying respect to those who actually went through the things he is singing about. But I think he is making a connection to recent events.
    Personally listening to the song reminds me that nothing can stop you, because my people are still here. I've listened to a lot Kiwanuka and all his music is well written. Which would have me believe that everything about this song is intentional, including the repetition.
    With songs like this, I think its a huge misconception that Black people believe as if the have a monopoly on oppression. Most of us are more sensitive to the plight of all people every where because of the history of our people.
