"Cold Little Heart" is a song by British singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, from his second studio album, Love & Hate. It was released as the fourth and final single from the album on 24 February 2017.
The song was used in the opening credits of the American noir comedy series Big Little Lies.[1]
Reception
Marcus J. Moore of Pitchfork stated that "Cold Little Heart" was the best song on Love & Hate, saying "the album's 10-minute opener is easily the record's best song, landing somewhere between Pink Floyd's soul/rock hybrid and Isaac Hayes' orchestral arrangements".[3]
In another positive review of the album, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian states: "It takes confidence to open an album with a song that lasts over 10 minutes, the first five of them entirely instrumental. That confidence could obviously be wildly misplaced – a five minute instrumental overture replete with strings, wordless backing vocals and melancholy slide guitar that sounds not unlike the work of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour could be an exercise in terrible hollow pomposity. But instead, Cold Little Heart proceeds with a stately assurance: the moment where the song suddenly pulls into focus is really thrilling."[4]
