they shot the video half in a barn w/ candlelight + instagram kelvin filter, half during the golden hour
theyre really pushing for that late summer afternoon vibe, really trying hard to make this summer thing happen

the swears are still in there - and the mariah shrieks were there already too?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:44 (thirteen years ago)
I don't think the mariah shreaks are in the itunes versh
― 乒乓, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:46 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i really wanted this video to just be them on a motorbike for the whole song. the chemistry between them in the video is kinda cute tho, especially miguel's kind of incredulous/thrilled expressions as mariah dances for him in the barn
― 1staethyr, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:47 (thirteen years ago)
the little mariah squeaks/shrieks over the blanked-out swears aren't on the itunes version
― 1staethyr, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:48 (thirteen years ago)
oh huh sry, I didn't catch that I guess
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:48 (thirteen years ago)
video needed more close-ups of mariah, and in particular one when she sings the "OH HOW YOU THRILL ME!" line
― monotony, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:53 (thirteen years ago)
i don't think i need to hear the unedited version actually, this song is too sweet for swears
― 乒乓, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:54 (thirteen years ago)
xpost yeah I was kind of bummed they missed that
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:59 (thirteen years ago)
this video makes way more sense once you realise it's a rich and totally insane miguel alone on his vast private estate hanging out with an imaginary mariah hallucination
last shot should have been men in white coats arriving as he frenches a tree

Due to garnering an audience impression of 29 million across all radio channel formats within one day of its release, Billboard predicted on May 7, 2013 that "#Beautiful" will debut inside the top 50 of the US Radio Songs chart.[22] It was noted that due to the song only being made available to download on May 6, 2013, that only the airplay figures would count towards its US Billboard Hot 100 chart position, if it were to chart. It is predicted that the song will sell more than 100,000 downloads by May 12, 2013.[22] The following day on May 8, 2013, Billboard reported that audience impressions had risen to 31 million and that although the airplay for "#Beautiful" was not enough to chart on the Hot 100 chart, it had debuted on the Radio Songs chart at number 4

http://snpsnpsnp.tumblr.com/post/49783717234/heyyyy-so-there-were-four-months-during-which-i
Heyyyy. So. There were four months during which I thought maybe I wouldn’t be in love again, I mean, not with a boy, and maybe that would be fine because New York and women, but then not fine because you can’t spend all day in bed eating grapes with the Empire State Building, and your friends like you too much to have sex with you, and also, you want boys, you want a boy’s capacity to surprise you. Like this song. Which has the cheeeeesiest image. Shit looks like social media marketing for a long-delayed Lifetime movie about a hard-done single MILF falling reluctantly in love with her neighbour’s son, who is home for the summer with a career-ending college ball injury that yet permits him to ride motorcycles and break into infinity pools and fuck her standing against the scaffolding of an abandoned construction site, which is soft-focus spectacular, but then what happens when her redneck baby daddy gets out of NA with a fresh shave and a practical four-wheeler?
In conclusion: I’ve been listening to this song all day, and no matter how good you think it will be, you will be wrong. It’s better. Bye.

that should be 44. if it were number 4 it definitely would have been on the hot 100 as well.

and again why not
she better hurry up with this album cuz i'm on repeat at this point
btw too cute my coworker who's really into rap/hip hop said to me the other day he's like, "so my friend told me to listen to Triumphant? told me meek mill is on it"
i was like "yeah! you should listen to it!"
it was a feel-good moment

Apparently not actually completely written/produced by the two of them. Happy Perez also co-produced and Brook D'Leau has a writing credit.

She sure has a lot of booty close-ups. Wish they had done the same with Miguel.

This has just basically come out of nowhere for me to all of a sudden be one of my favourite albums of the year. "The Distance" and "Stay Long Love You" are so good. And the outtros to "Giving Me Life" and "8th Grade"!!
That Genius interview is a fantastic watch as well.
