I started to learn more about Baldwin's life and artistry, and also really got into the work of Gordon Parks - his movies but also his photography around the Civil Rights Movement, his portraits of poor black families in the south. And when I started reading up on Fred Hampton of the Black Panthers, it helped unlock the lyrics to 'Hero,' which I'd be done a year earlier but couldn't get any further than the chorus. But thinking about Fred and the movement, the lyrics just poured out of me.\" - Michael Kiwanuka in an interview with Mojo magazine.\n\nhttps://www.michaelkiwanuka.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
