"adorn" is looking like it has a chance to be his biggest hit
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Monday, August 27, 2012 2:23 PM (6 hours ago)
is it charting? it doesn't even have a wiki entry

"Adorn" is great, but I've always thought it needed a B.o.B. verse
well here's a sentence i never thought i'd read

#7 R&B, #68 on the Hot 100 (xpost)

There's also the R. Kelly albums.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 01:04 (thirteen years ago)
well yeah but those aren't contemporary R&B

or was that a separate remix
separate remix & not on the album
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 01:14 (thirteen years ago)
wait, ship: how are Kels' albums not contemporary R&B? Is it their retro stylings that inoculate them?

i was basically borrowing the parlance of the Grammys, who for most of the last decade had a 'contemporary R&B album' award to distinguish the overly modern hip hop-influenced stuff from the more traditional stuff that usually wins the best R&B album award (but the 2 categories were merged back into one this year). Chocolate Factory was nominated in the contemporary category; his last two would have been in the other category, if they were nominated.
― some dude, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 01:29 (thirteen years ago)
like you wouldn't listen to Write Me Back and expect to possibly hear a guest rapper on it (unlike Miguel's stuff), so it's not relevant to the point i was making.
― some dude, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 01:30 (thirteen years ago)
new trey songz album only has like 6 guest rappers

SPOILER ALERT
the new preview is very good

"do you..." especially is absolutely sublime
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 04:24 (thirteen years ago)
:D
― k3vin k., Thursday, 6 September 2012 04:27 (thirteen years ago)
"do you..." is like "quickie" pt 2... the glowing, coital track that just basks in its own sound. it's even a bit more ethereal tho.
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 04:34 (thirteen years ago)
Just heard Adorn in a sports store while walking through the mall. Miguel has arrived!

Man is this release scheme convoluted. Like, I'm a pretty big fan of this guy, and I really can't keep track of which songs are out, which ones are coming soon, which ones are being bundled where, where to download them, when to download them, etc, etc. I am totally lost, and his site isn't really clarifying a lot of these questions.
The ADC EPs were clever, but he should stop fucking around and just put out an album already.
― Evan R, Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:08 (thirteen years ago)
three more songs out 9/11, full thing out 10/2
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:29 (thirteen years ago)
i hope "do you..." is actually the next single. maybe the best thing he's ever done.
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)
cool to see that Pop & Oak produced "Use Me," really starting to stan for them after the Elle Varner album. "Don't Look Back" is prob my least favorite song he's put out this year, though.
― IN REAL LIFE (some dude), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)
i've never heard so many radio DJs say things like "I love that song! don't you love that song?" before or after playing something as with "Adorn" -- was really awesome to change stations right after it and hear it starting on another station the other day.
― IN REAL LIFE (some dude), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:50 (thirteen years ago)
Is that EV album good front to back?
― Nickelback of folk (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:51 (thirteen years ago)
imo yeah
― IN REAL LIFE (some dude), Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:52 (thirteen years ago)
Cool, was interested but hadn't heard much, will check it.
― Nickelback of folk (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 6 September 2012 22:00 (thirteen years ago)
heard "Adorn" on Tuesday! It helped that the R&B station played Maze's "Back in Stride" right after.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 September 2012 22:03 (thirteen years ago)
i think he's gonna hit no. 1 next week. up to no. 2 this week.
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 22:04 (thirteen years ago)
gonna start using "the third minute of 'Adorn'" as a euphemism for keys that unlock wonderful hidden treasures

in the past 9 months where i've grown to view miguel as a singular genius i have to sometimes constantly remind myself that he can write some really hilariously corny lyrics
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 01:55 (thirteen years ago)
but then he can also write something as dope as "we can be the riot in the air tonight"
