thread of miguel

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

1.Adorn 02:19
2.That I Do (FTRMX) 03:11
3.Gravity 03:38

even fucking "Broads" kind of grew on me

haha it's the opposite for me, i only really care about 3-4 songs of this, albeit i REALLY care about those, but that's the same ratio as like the melanie fiona album, which this series isn't actually substantially more interesting than

and the estelle album is way better

and like there are more amazing new nikkiya tracks this year than miguel ones :(

the estelle album is not better

and neither was that old nikkiya album but i haven't heard the reissue

maybe they're not ~faded~ enough for you but they are definitely more enjoyable to me. just better songs, better production, singers you want to spend more time with...miguel is trying very hard to be an auteur rather than the semi-anonymous guy behind "sure thing" but in the process hasn't remotely come close to "sure thing"s impeccable standard

and i really love "...all" but c'mon FELLOW OUTCASTS! AND WEIRDOS! stfu you try-hard

maybe they're not ~faded~ enough for you

oh fuck off

also, i do want to spend time with miguel. in bed.

trying to reduce miguel to some tumblr-wave thing is so NAGL.

and he's done at least 5 songs better than "sure thing"

i'm pretty sure if i was forced to spend time with estelle i'd want to cut my head off in short order.

"sure thing" is great, but so are "adorn", "arch & point", "...all", c'mon. dunno why it always has to be this vs. that, devolve to bickering abt the cultural positioning. weirdo art outcast is no more contrived than any other pop persona.

also, i do want to spend time with miguel. in bed.

yeah you do not get miguel at all

Despite the miguel songs I love I think you might be right there
