jesus christ the restless bass on "do you"

Yeah that kind of sub-bass is basically my favorite thing in music. His vocals on the last half are badass too. Great track.

still think rtc's offhand springsteen comparison is the most on-base one i've seen so far - it's kind of where it clicked into place for me (which is weird b/c i don't even care about springsteen)

until Salaam Remi and Jerry Wonda had tracks side by side on this it never occurred to me that 2 different Fugees producers from back in the day have had pretty good careers the last few years

jordan what did he do with "pussy is mine"?
― k3vin k., Saturday, 8 September 2012 11:37 (eleven years ago) link
that seems like a personal question

"pussy is mine" is on the album, it's pretty close to iirc what he was doing live. just him & the guitar and then it leads into the stripped down version of "candles in the sun"

with samples of John Lennon saying "I have found out personally, not for the whole world, that the pussy is mine"

not really feeling the Labi Siffre appropriation on the title track. Do You is tremendous though

j0rdan please tell me that you think this album is better than channel BORING so that i can merely jealous of you hearing it and not resentful as well
― manic pixie, mercy, yo chick she's so quirky (some dude), Saturday, 8 September 2012 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
no, be resentful as well

My fear is that Miguel's album is as boring as Ocean's. The heart can't handle these kinds of blows.

already impossible based on the tracks that are out now

New tracks are great. Still constantly shocked and delighted over how this whimpy dude with a really muffled mixtape I somehow downloaded and a nice song with J. Cole became one of my favorite contemporary artists
― Evan R, Monday, 10 September 2012 03:54 (eleven years ago) link
idk if miguel changed it up or what but just noticed the double tracked whispers on 'use me'

"Adorn" is now his second R&B #1.

(in a good way)
"adorn" will almost certainly be officially his biggest hit ever next week
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 September 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
it's #41 on the new hot 100
― maura, Thursday, 13 September 2012 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
third #1 if you count "Lotus Flower Bomb"

pro tip: sing "sensitive thuuuuuuugs, sensitive thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs" to the tune of "Do You"
― tuomas without a nose ring (The Reverend), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 05:42 (eleven years ago) link
Shouldn't it be "sensitive thuuuuuugs, do you need huuuuuuugs?"

Listening to "Kaleidoscope Dream" (the song), it occurs to me that Miguel's Prince appropriations are at times startlingly like Me'Shell Ndgeocello's Prince appropriations.

asserting that Miguel did not write the words he sang on "Lotus Flower Bomb" is doing him a favor imo

btw there are a shit-ton of "Adorn" freestyles out right now by rappers you would never want to hear on that song but Ma$e's is the only one i felt compelled to rubberneck at: http://rapradar.com/2012/09/10/new-music-mae-adorn-remix/

i hope the no-rappers policy on the album is extended to no official remixes. actually he can just not collaborate w/ any rappers at all (although i like "summer on smash")

kids in my school's journalism/broadcast program chose "adorn" as the outgoing credits music for the first school announcements video segment of the year. it was a nice moment at the end of the program. (half of the kids in my homeroom were like i love this song! and half were like, who is this?)
― horseshoe, Friday, 21 September 2012 09:36 (eleven years ago) link
also waiting to hear which song had been chosen for the outro was the #1 thing my kids were invested in about the broadcast, so i choose to attach some *significance* to the choice.

also finally get an answer to my question about whether the song was lengthened after the fact: With radio stations already asking for the mixtape cut, Miguel agreed to return to the studio and add a bridge to the track, and soon "Adorn" became a three-minute, 14-second official single
― some dude, Sunday, 23 September 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
I thought Lex said the exact opposite.
