Watch Michael Kiwanuka’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert [Video]

Michael Kiwanuka performs “Light”, “Hard To Say Goodbye”, “Hero”, “Cold Little Heart” and “Solid Ground” for NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk (Home) Concert’ series.

Enter the unassuming and innately talented Michael Kiwanuka from a “rainy London” flat that’s dimly lit with a vintage feel. The Mercury Prize-winning musician evokes an all-encompassing softness in spirit as he leads viewers into the “Light,” the first of five songs in his Tiny Desk (home) concert. The warm texture of his voice and tenderness of his soul belie the depth of his songwriting, which ranges from sociopolitical works to songs revealing the inner chambers of self-exploration. Featuring material from both Love & Hate and his more recent award-winning Kiwanuka, this is an absolutely stunning performance.
