thread of miguel

I know he has a song at the end of this year's Adult Swim singles series.

Adult Swim Chic? should be nice. Hoping there will be something more sooner though. But then, he's still working Kaleidoscope Dream, so new Art Dealer Chic this summer was probably wishful thinking.

i imagine there'll be something out during the Drake tour at least

Oof!

I guess he liked drugs.

buds iirc

fuck him.

yeah that's lame. don't drive drunk, people.

dipshit

Jamie, Johnny, and Jack know

he's been a tortured soul since he killed that woman.

;_;

so we know how many drinks it takes to get him home

sorry

lol

damn girl: you made the lyric ref I groped for

:D

New track.

(alas, meh.)

i kinda like this but def sounds like something one would send to adult swim

lol exactly

"hmmm should i give away a potential #1 radio hit as a free release in a series featuring Pig Destroyer and Dan Deacon?"

if Dan Deacon released this track I wouldn't have batted an eyelash

Kind of fun hearing a genuinely shitty Miguel track. Sounds like a demo of a song that could never work, so he just stopped trying and released it as is

song isn't genuinely shitty at all... just sounds like a ADC vol 3 leftover

Yeah, it's not up to his usual standards, but not really shitty. It feels like a b-side.

yeah i quite like it. the talky/singy harmonies are nice.

Shitty and demo-ish. A perfect fit for Adult Swim.

Very moving song. This would choke me up if I heard it late at night on the radio.

kind of minor but it's alright

Yeah

sounds like one of the Art Dealer Chic tracks that didn't make my final cut.

It repeats some of the same sounds as ADC/KD, so it's a bit redundant in that sense, but the sentiments are a lot more realized. The song definitely connects in a way the lesser ADC tracks didn't

as a tune it's like a 7.5 out of 10 but lyrically it aligns w/ my life to a scary degree so i'm kind of smitten

i just want someone to smoke with me, babe
and lay with me, babe
and laugh with me, babe
i just want the simple things

preach bruh

ick on the free spirit stuff though

well yeah but that idea is always lurking in his music

i hear this as a companion piece to "#beautiful" in a few ways

xxxp

I mean, who doesn't want that kind of companionship? It's a beautifully simple, universal sentiment.

Song would have been a better Kaleidoscope Dream closer than "Candles in the Sun," since the personal scope is way more in keeping with the rest of the album than the babies on crack/save the world goofiness of "Candles"

i hope the rock direction of these latest two freebies are some experimentation though and not a BOLD NEW DIRECTION

His greatest gift is to change these banalities he barely sketches into privileged moments, in every sense: the audience is almost playing voyeur.

i think this and the Adult Swim track are probably coming out between album cycles pointedly because they're inaccessible little things that don't pose a threat of popping off and becoming a radio hit before they've started gearing up the promotional machine. also they sound self-produced, maybe he's doing a lot of stuff on his own before he goes in the studio with outside producers to get something more polished. the guitar was always there, though, there's YouTubes of him playing covers on guitar from a year before the first album. maybe it'll be on the next album heavier, though, i could see it.

yeah i mean it's a thin line cf his live shows but i hope he stays more r&b

"Arch & Point" worked as genre exercise AND song but yeah I wouldn't want a whole album of clones.

a whole album of "Use Me"s however

His live show is guitar heavy to an album obnoxious degree (it's cool at first but after a while it begins to feel like a Living Colour concert or something). He's got a good thing going on urban radio, though, so I'm sure he's not going to sacrifice that by going full Chili Peppers on his next major release

I like the guitar heavy stuff, so I don;'t really mind.
