Michael Kiwanuka is gearing up to release his anticipated third album KIWANUKA on November 1 via Interscope, and today he has shared the second single, "Hero." It's one of Michael's most instantly satisfying songs, with a kinetic energy, some killer lead guitar, and the kind of hook you feel like you've known your whole life. It's only making us more excited for the rest of KIWANUKA -- listen below.

Tickets for all dates on Michael's 2020 North American tour also go on sale today, including the NYC show at Terminal 5 on February 8 (tickets on sale 10 AM Eastern). All dates are listed below.

UPDATE (10/15): The video for "Hero," which was directed by CC Wade and pays homage to iconic figures from the Civil Rights movement in America, is here now.
