thread of miguel

its really confusing bcuz im too lazy to rename it & its tagged FLESH & prev i thought it mightev been hollywood dreams lol

i love "leaves" more than "adorn"

ooohh let my leaves adorn you

i love both leaves and adorn very very much

been listening to kaleidoscope dream a lot lately, it so so so good

it actually makes me appreciate wildheart a lot more, idk why, i know i talked some shit about the rock touches on wildheart but i have been digging them more

whoever said upthread that their opinion changes all the time about wildheart was otm, right now though i am loving it and loving miguel so much

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

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

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

huh "Waves" is one of the last songs i would've thought of as having any radio potential

It immediately jumped out at me as the catchiest thing on the album.

Waves is definitely my second favourite after Coffee.

... Derulo-wave...

omg otm

if waves is released as a single
hoping for an over the top, rammstein-mein-land-style video

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

This is finally out on vinyl. It was a nice surprise to find it in my local store this morning.

"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

I feel the exact opposite way around, I always forget that goingtohell exists.

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

i like this 'remix'

better than the orig imo

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

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/

wow

apparently there's a whole "Waves" remixes EP coming out tomorrow

A "What's Normal Anyway" duet would've been very on-brand for her.

kacey remix is the standout on the ep by a billion miles

tame impala remix is terrible
idk 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 been
joshua tree version is just an acoustic version
the travis scott remix, ehhhh

Who is this EP actually aimed at? Like, that's just a really weird collection of remixers.

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.

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

OG "Waves" is a minor Derulo-wave masterpiece

agreed

i played miguel at work and people enjoyed it

this is to someone's credit but i can't decide who
