thread of miguel

i think i like miguel's dirtbag style in a way that does not jibe with ilxhivemind because i love "the valley" and "pay me"

I love The Valley, too. There's something about Pay Me that just sounds like it was written for a different voice on top of using then-trendy production choices. Feels forced, unlike the rest of the tracks on that first album.

yeah, it's not so much that it's a bad song it just doesn't work as a miguel song at all

i like "The Valley" but it's like Exhibit A in the album's poor sequencing, would sound so much better if it showed up in the second half after you're totally immersed in his world

The Valley would stick out like a sore thumb wherever it sat on the tracklisting, not sure that straightforward sleaze is a particularly good look for Miguel, he's at his best when he's playing with perspectives and that one just feels forced.

god, I really love Hollywood dreams

I'm still not completely sold on this record, but as of yesterday I have gone from only loving "Coffee" to digging the whole "Coffee" through "Hollywood Dreams" stretch. Progress!

NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA

I still have to listen to it a little more to have a clearer idea but so far I really like the album. especially "coffee" and "wave".
there's an over the top/romantic approach that could be a bit annoying and ridiculous but it kinda works.

Lol oh dear.

I'm imagine a furious Miguel binning an entire session's worth of recordings upon realising he's accidentally remade Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness.

ah. that said, I did think it sounded like the smashing pumpkins !
actually this album sounds more like a 90s indie album than a rnb one to me...

yeah that riff is Corgan-ish

Emptiness is loneliness
and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness
and god... turns into coffee in the morning

yeah that riff is Corgan-ish

and indeed, as said in the article, the drum kit on that song also REALLY sounds like 1979.
he would have been sued his sexy ass !

DON'T FUCKING GIVE THAT ASSHOLE ME

errrr

DON'T FUCKING GIVE THAT ASSHOLE MONEY

too angry about Billy getting paid to type correctly

Emptiness is loneliness
and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness
and god... turns into coffee in the morning

Does "thot" just mean, like, "hoe"? Is it pronounced like "thought"?

A) p much; B) a bit more abruptly

i keep trying but this album still sounds humorous to me

that's a good thing!

ohhh :D

"coffee" is soooooooooo good

"Leaves" is too:

http://www.directlyrics.com/miguel-leaves-lyrics.html

pretty sure "THOT" stands for "those hos over there" which makes me even more unreasonably annoyed when it's used in the plural

eternally ;_; @ lyric websites getting it wrong

"leaves" stops me in my tracks every time

something about how his voice is suddenly there, right in your ear and unadorned after spending 10 tracks muffled and deep in the mix and switching itself up

pretty sure "THOT" stands for "those hos over there" which makes me even more unreasonably annoyed when it's used in the plural

folk etymology

forks etymology

Pretty sure it's "that hoe over there" which adds levels to your unreasonable annoyance xps

leaves -> face the sun is so killer

i think we can all agree that "THOT" is a horrible phrase/word/acronym/whatever

^ too moral for the cut-thot

Rather be a thot than a whore

poorly thot out imo

man the preventive crediting inspirations to avoid lawsuits is one sad trend in the wrong direction. ~what happened to music

i've come around to "beautiful exit" still not crazy about the guitars but pretty much everything else is really good about that song especially the vocals

uh put some clothes on pleaze

looks like it was shot on a budget of $100

It's missing a desert scene but otherwise I feel this clip is kind of perfect for the song?
