Michael Kiwanuka’s stunning second LP proves he’s an artist with something to say. <i>Love & Hate</i> is a timely and timeless set of slow-burning soul that recalls Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield. Produced by Danger Mouse, it sounds of the past and present all at once—as it does in the string-embossed swing of “Black Man in a White World.”
