thread of miguel

which apparently charted...last month? what? did someone perform it on tv or something?

he hasn't charted properly since his debut, 1997

erykah badu hasn't had a charting single here since '97 either

hmm yeah that is weird!

Damn I was hoping one of you could explain the resurgence of "This Woman's Work." I heard it a ton this winter, and couldn't figure out why

apparently the song is a favorite on various reality singer/dance competitions, but that still doesn't explain it. And it was used in the season 6 finale of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," but that really doesn't explain it, either

oh here we go smh

16-year-old Hope Murphy won over the Britain’s Got Talent 2012 judges tonight, with a take on Maxwell hit This Woman’s Work.

The Essex teenager explained to hosts Ant and Dec before her audition: “I’ve been singing since a toddler. I’ve come to Britain’s Got Talent today because it’s my dream to make it worldwide.”

But kicking off with a performance of Jessie J’s Mamma Knows Best, Simon Cowell was immediately left unimpressed.

He moaned: “I’ve heard that song so many times.

“I want to hear something different to whatever anyone else is singing.”

Under pressure, Hope instead performed Maxwell’s cover of Kate Bush classic This Woman’s Work, to a standing ovation.

only criminal omission there is b'day obv, but otherwise good job

pissed i missed this debate a few days ago haha

btw do you have an equivalent site to this for US chart runs? http://www.polyhex.com/music/chartruns/chartruns.php

not that i know of but i sure do hope so!

when i saw maxwell, he performed "this woman's work" on one knee backlit by a spotlight, which would have been amazing if not for the fact that the spotlight was pointed straight at my eyes.

hahaha

One of the highlights of the winter Trey Songz tour was when one of Songz's backup singers sang that track while Trey was offstage. The crowd went absolutely ape shit when the guy hit those notes

One of the highlights of the winter Trey Songz tour was when Trey was offstage

Ha, yeah, I know. Whole show was great, but I know I'm in the minority opinion here about Trey Songz

speaking of trey, i like his new single

which one

yeah "Heart Attack" is dope

I could probably make a kick-ass mix of unreleased Trey Songz tracks from the last several years... "When I See You," "Flatline," "For The Sake Of Our Love." Dude probably has nearly a dozen unreleased songs that hold their own against many of his singles

xp that one

Cool article Jordan! Downloading a couple of these records that I haven't heard. Cheers!

Re: Miguel, can't say that Quickie is my favorite from those singles, but it's an interesting choice :)

i would most certainly listen to that mix evan

thank u for this, ilm/j sarge p4k review

"All" might be my fav song off this right now but it was funny today to see an R&B mixtape with it as track 1 with '(HOT!!!)' next to the song title

that low sustained moaning coursing through "All" is the best

"party life" and "candles in the sun" are just great

yeah i really love "Candles," works so much more than it has a right to

I haven't gooten into any of the tracks on vol. 3 as much as I have "Adorn"/"Gravity"/"Arch N Point"/"All"

"party life" is cool but not really as amazing as the "arch & point"/"...all" pinnacle of this series

"candles..." gets away with what it does but only barely imo

haha otm

hmmm, i think "party life" just hit me in a big way

it's kinda sad but i think we're gonna keep on dancing

::swoon::

hmmm, he can't really play guitar, can he? the subway station vid was cool tho

mike breen is such a republican

lol that was the wrong thread -_-

yeah he's wayne-esque on that guitar, but maybe that was a while ago

his voice is so good

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT MIGUEL do u even know how often i'm there on that platform

His guitar is just fine on "Arch n Point."

is there any reason to assume that's him playing it? the track was produced by Fisticuffs

I only think so because they're easy lines and his fingers match the chords.

alright, looks like he has stepped his guitar game up at least to the level of competence. and covered madvillain.

where are production credits

most of the places where the mixtapes were released have a back cover graphic w/ production credits

er where the EPs were uploaded i guess

man i'm impressed as hell that he produced "...all" -- that's a pretty damn nuanced take on dance music imo
