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.

... Derulo-wave...

if waves is released as a single
hoping 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.

Matt DC, Friday, 25 September 2015 11:17 (eight years ago) link

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

Your Ribs are My Ladder, Friday, 25 September 2015 11:41 (eight years ago) link

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

Kitchen Person, Friday, 25 September 2015 21:17 (eight years ago) link

"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

marcos, Saturday, 26 September 2015 13:59 (eight years ago) link

"waves" is getting a video

and a j. cole remix it looks like

carly bae jepsen (monotony), Saturday, 17 October 2015 13:41 (eight years ago) link

soon we'll see a J. Cole song with a "feat. J. Cole" credit.

"Super Turnt Up" is a song by American recording artist Ciara credited for featuring herself, the song was recorded for her fifth self-titled studio album Ciara (2013).

i like this 'remix'

, Saturday, 20 February 2016 13:28 (eight years ago) link

better than the orig imo

some dude, Saturday, 20 February 2016 14:06 (eight years ago) link

what a horribly formed "remix"

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 20 February 2016 14:15 (eight years ago) link

j/k it's not bad

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 20 February 2016 14:15 (eight years ago) link

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/

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 February 2016 23:38 (eight years ago) link

wow

goole, Friday, 26 February 2016 00:11 (eight years ago) link

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 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

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

Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 27 February 2016 00:27 (eight years ago) link

agreed

J0rdan S., Saturday, 27 February 2016 01:44 (eight years ago) link

i played miguel at work and people enjoyed it

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

somewhere btwn Gabriel Garcia Marquez and early Evel Knievel guy (contenderizer), Saturday, 27 February 2016 02:03 (eight years ago) link

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!"

Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 27 February 2016 03:46 (eight years ago) link

having not expected this ep at all i'm pleased to have this keeper from it, but it's so good that it makes me think a miguel remix project could've been even better - remixing a variety of songs off wildheart instead of just one? or just having kacey musgraves do all of them, imagine her doing "leaves"

cher guevara (lex pretend), Saturday, 27 February 2016 11:47 (eight years ago) link

my thoughts exactly

dc, Saturday, 27 February 2016 13:50 (eight years ago) link

okay, i spent like three hours just on the sgraffito for this today and it's still off balance but hey, ilx delivers
