thread of miguel

rad times indeed

Just to clarify:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Happoldt

I do like that this guy is on a one-name basis with Sublime fans though. His biggest claim to fame is inheriting a Dalmation.

Oh damn, that takes the fun out of everything. I'm glad someone took care of Lou Dog tho.

it's still fun imo

Miguel was a stunner at Pitchfork: a delight.

Plz stop being so charming, Miguel.

"Cadillac" is great. Might be my favorite song of the past couple months.

Heard part of it in background somewhere, and was thinking it could be Miguel, and its not bad.

Covering "Crazy In Love" on the 50 Shades Darker trailer. "Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no", indeed.

like being trapped in a sexy sexy tar pit of stupid

seeing him tomorrow (he's opening for sia). this will be like the 26th time i've seen him since being introduced to his music by a student (who was interning at epic) six years ago. apparently he's playing a new song called 'i told you so' on this tour?

I wonder if Sia fans like him? That tour is here too, but I'm not a Sia fan. Only saw Miguel live once (at the 1,200 capacity or so Howard Theatre) and he was very charismatic and impressive onstage.

How did his sets change after Wildheart? I saw him open for Drake on the NWTS tour and I can't say I loved all the guitars—they seemed kind of indiscriminate. Wish I'd gotten to see him shortly after All I Want Is You but the show I was gonna go to (he was opening for Trey Songz I think?) got canceled

Saw him open for Sia on Sunday. He was sort of meandering but worked hard to win people over. To varying degrees of success.

Should say, highlight was him giving an inspirational speech about his climb, which culminated in him asking the audience to stand up, raise their middle fingers with him, dance and chant "fuck Donald Trump!" to a funky beat. Then when it was done he apologized to all the parents with small kids for his language, saying he was just having fun. And then without missing a beat, he returned to the "fuck Donald Trump!" chant, grinning ear to ear.

omg

I guess he's been doing it every night!

hillary should have him do that at the victory party

I don't remember the last show I saw where the headliner didn't lead a Trump diss. I just saw Kesha then Rae Sremmurd do it

hillary should have him do that at the victory party

Woulda thought Trump (and his people) would be too busy at this point to worry about what's going on at a Miguel concert, but...

so good

a little on the nose but enjoyable

I like it!

love 2 have fun w/ miguel

Everything Premiere has done for the last 20 years has been on the nose, but I love how he just keeps doing his thing, regardless of whether it's in style or not.

This would have fit right in on All I Want is You

it's ok

love 2 have fun w/ miguel

so good

i want a gif of snoop at 1:07

sounds v v v good yes

Yikes, "Sky Walker" is not good.

Sounds like he was going for some kind of Rae Sremmurd vibe and coming up short. Will this be on the album? I hope not...

barf this is awful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76O3w4pt0CA

yeah, not enjoyable.

uh oh

can I unhear this

obv this is far from an ideal miguel single but i don't hate it. it actually could fit pretty seamlessly into the dreamy middle section of kaleidoscope dream.

also i like wildheart and defended it at the time, but i'll be happy if he bends back towards radio music instead of following his rock star muse even further down that rabbit hole. despite this song i think it will be good for him... he made better music when he was trying to get played on R&B radio

AIWIY is his best album

This could easily have fitted on Kaleidoscope Dream and (especially) on Wildheart, it doesn't feel like such a radical left turn for me. Travis Scott should be nowhere near it obviously, but it's otherwise fine.

travis scott sounds good on it i think... it nods at his sound w/o being a direct rip off. my main problem is that i can't credibly buy miguel singing about his haters

It's not the subject matter I have a problem with; it's the intrinsic lameness. He sounds like a colossal doofus

also I he could tone down the boyishness and maybe turn up the grown-man factor a bit. like the song is this close to having a line about how warm coco feels good in his tum tum

lol oh dear. it is not completely awful but it is very... meandering? and yes goofy. sounds like an interlude that shouldn't have been extended to a full-length song.

he made better music when he was trying to get played on R&B radio

i agree with this!
