curious what people think of the production. it seems really "vibe-y" and almost lo fi in a lot of places. more like classic rock in some ways.

he's always had that balance i think. for all its lush qualities "adorn" also strikes me as distinctly homemade

whoever said upthread that their opinion changes all the time about wildheart was otm
i feel this and still not sure if i even like it &
i love "leaves" more than "adorn"
this is just crazy to me
― tpp, Friday, 11 September 2015 22:21 (eight years ago) link
i love the way he sings "you know i'm from here" in leaves

he performed "Simplethings" on the Tonight Show recently...interesting if that's the single, considering it's so old and a bonus track, but then there's not many really strong single candidates on the album proper. it's maybe TOO similar to "Coffee," which got fairly little airplay, but i like both songs.

"Waves" should be a single, fits in pretty well with the Derulo-wave stuff all over the radio right now
― The Reverend, Friday, 25 September 2015 03:03 (eight years ago) link
yea totally tbh I had assumed waves was already a single
Is coffee the only single? Besides waves I think leaves or beautiful exit could also work
― marcos, Friday, 25 September 2015 03:14 (eight years ago) link
huh "Waves" is one of the last songs i would've thought of as having any radio potential
― some dude, Friday, 25 September 2015 03:58 (eight years ago) link
It immediately jumped out at me as the catchiest thing on the album.
― The Reverend, Friday, 25 September 2015 04:44 (eight years ago) link
Waves is definitely my second favourite after Coffee.

if waves is released as a singlehoping for an over the top, rammstein-mein-land-style video
― nxd, Friday, 25 September 2015 08:13 (eight years ago) link
Waves is fantastic, it just feels like a classic driving song and surely one of the most radio-friendly on the album? Then again I'm talking about an idealised version of the radio and not the demographic-ed to hell version that actually exists.

Waves was Radio 1's song of the day a couple of days ago so it's happening

"goingtohell" is by far my favorite of the rockier songs on the album, "Waves" just never really gels for me, sounds very half-written
the Miguel feature on the Disclosure album seems below his usual standard but maybe i need to give it time
― some dude, Saturday, 26 September 2015 04:14 (eight years ago) link
I feel the exact opposite way around, I always forget that goingtohell exists.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 26 September 2015 10:35 (eight years ago) link
me too, I've been listening to this album for months and I still can't even remember what goingtohell sounds like
apart from leaves and maybe flesh I think the second half of this is much weaker than the first half, hollywood dreams in particular is one of my least favorites

better than the orig imo
― some dude, Saturday, 20 February 2016 14:06 (eight years ago) link
what a horribly formed "remix"

j/k it's not bad
kacey musgraves remix of "waves" is just delightful
a touch of the xx's debut about it or am i imagining things
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 25 February 2016 21:26 (eight years ago) link
no i totally hear it as like a country version of an xx song that never existed http://leakedsounds.net/2016/02/25/miguel-ft-kacey-musgraves-waves-remix-cdq/

apparently there's a whole "Waves" remixes EP coming out tomorrow
― some dude, Friday, 26 February 2016 02:05 (eight years ago) link
A "What's Normal Anyway" duet would've been very on-brand for her.
― dc, Friday, 26 February 2016 04:47 (eight years ago) link
kacey remix is the standout on the ep by a billion miles
tame impala remix is terribleidk who rac is but that remix is alright but i feel like it's not quite as much of a mood alteration as it could've beenjoshua tree version is just an acoustic versionthe travis scott remix, ehhhh
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 26 February 2016 11:33 (eight years ago) link
Who is this EP actually aimed at? Like, that's just a really weird collection of remixers.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 February 2016 11:37 (eight years ago) link
Was almost thinking I would happily hear Kacey covering Wildheart in its entirety, and then I remembered that The Valley and NWA were on it and thought yeah maybe not every song.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 February 2016 11:39 (eight years ago) link
i think the EP primarily exists to push "Waves" (particularly the Travis Scott remix) as a radio single and remind people that this commercial DOA project exists, while also expanding the diversity/versatility of Miguel's sound and brand
― some dude, Friday, 26 February 2016 12:06 (eight years ago) link
OG "Waves" is a minor Derulo-wave masterpiece

what is remotely derulo about that song, of all songs
― some dude, Saturday, 27 February 2016 02:21 (eight years ago) link
it fits right in with "Want to Want Me", "Cheyenne", "I Can't Feel My Face", "Jealous" etc
― Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 27 February 2016 02:48 (eight years ago) link
yeah I heard "Get Ugly" twice today and hile I love Migs and Derulo's last album I hear no similarities.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 27 February 2016 02:58 (eight years ago) link
It doesn't sound like "Get Ugly". You're making this more complicated than it is.
― Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 27 February 2016 03:45 (eight years ago) link
"It sounds like these Jason Derulo songs and similar songs by other other artists."
"But it doesn't sound like this other Derulo song that you weren't invoking at all!"
