um aren't we talking about the guy who no matter how you slice it has made between 1 and 4 of the best R&B singles of the last 18 months?

This kind of reminds me of "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart".

It makes sense as this is something that would be played at an art dealer's apartment. I like the song. My attitude towards Miguel has changed (even though he embarrases himself a lot). He should've been lumped in with Frank and Weeknd with the whole "new r&b guy" trend. I guess he isn't drugged up or skeezy enough.

Jesus I mean as getting exposure from a different audience. Yes he is probably more commercially successful than them but a little bit more wouldn't hurt. You guys are just reactionary as fuck.

'sure thing' was def mentioned in the original weeknd thread

yeah they have that same morso tone in their voices. Just Miguel knows not to sound whiny unlike The Weeknd.
― Tired of these edcuated basic bitches. (lilsoulbrother), Sunday, 5 February 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
The discourse around the Weekend and Frank Ocean sapped any enjoyment of them I'd had. I'd hate for the same to happen to Miguel.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Sunday, 5 February 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
I guess because I've been busy working a lot in 2011 that I didn't read much (if at all) on the discourse around them. I only read rave reviews about them around the blogosphere. (I read plenty of discourse on Tyler, The Creator though ugh).

even tho miguel was sorta new like frank ocean and the weeknd, the audiences aren't really the same so it's sort of a weird thing to bring up
it would make more sense imo to talk about how miguel is a much more creative, fun and singular songwriter than trey songz... or how something like "adorn" is like if jeremih had a second hit off of his last album
― J0rdan S., Monday, 6 February 2012 20:23 (twelve years ago) link

a bit premature to say this imo, songz is a very good songwriter.

this new miguel song is so delicate. the production really leaves room for his voice to soar at the end there.

I interviewed Trey Songz the other week, and he touched on a lot of the points this thread has over the last couple of days. His big-picture take on R&B is that it's a good time for the genre, with young blood like Miguel, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd (he listed them in that order, I think) doing great things that are possible in part because they've done their own thing instead of trying to cater to a Top 40 radio climate that doesn't have much interest in R&B right now.

I think Miguel is a better songwriter than Trey Songz, but My Mans is more singular. It's often his clumsier aspects that are the most distinct.

Sorry bwasher, didn't want to squash your enthusiasm, not feeling this really at all. Nothing particularly memorable about any of it.

Somehow never found the R&B 2012 thread until today. Hm. Excited to work through all this.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 6 February 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
Ok. That first Dawn Richards single does sound very Brandy.
Listening to the Jade Alston tape and she had me from the Single on a Saturday Night Intro which is A++ gorgeous. Like the guitar counterpoint going on in at the end of 'Missing You Lately'.
She's got a beautiful lower register - I can't think of the last time we had a R&B singer who consistently hung out in that part of her vocal register. Very sultry.

The Elle Varner mixtape is also pretty good, even the R&B cover of Ani Difranco.

Yeah. I was just coming here to post that. Was a bit skeptical at first, but it's one of my favourite Usher tracks in ages, notwithstanding Diplo's involvement.
Market forces + Guetta pushing Usher away from his totally awesome balladry towards Autotuned Taio Cruz/Derulo ish was/is incredibly depressing. This doesn't quite match the best of old-Usher, but this is /DAMN/ good.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
I mean. It's no 'Burn' or 'U Got It Bad', but I'll take what I can get.
