"Love & Hate" is a song by British singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, released as the title track on his second studio album, Love & Hate. It was released as the second of four singles from the album on April 7th, 2016.
The song was featured in various TV shows and films, including Netflix drama Seven Seconds , the Netflix docudrama When They See Us , the legal drama Suits (season 7, episode 8), Rosewood (season 1, episode 22), [1] Animal Kingdom (season 3, episode 11), Dear White People (season 1, episode 5) [2] the movie The Tax Collector, as well as two Italian productions, My Brother Chases Dinosaurs as well as the series Speravo de morì prima, based in the final season of footballer Francesco Totti at AS Roma.
In a 4/4 star review of the album by Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune , he says of the song "The seven-minute title track picks up on that wide open sense of possibility, as the narrator searches for a world with “no more pain and no more shame and misery.” As he hardens himself for the struggle ahead, strings pull the arrangement toward a buzzing guitar solo. When the smoke clears, the narrator is not alone — the choir shadows him, and is the only sound he hears as the music fades." [3]
