Pointless, but, man, I get so much pleasure from hearing him sing, partly because he does.

love it, love it.
based on this and his A+ Zombies cover on 'don't look back', I'd love to hear him do a covers album at some point in the future

Not even Wale could ruin this. But Wale really should stop anyway.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Saturday, 22 March 2014 06:12 (ten years ago) link
Wale is so neutral and faceless that he's usually only a problem if left to his own devices. He ain't fuckin up shit. But Walereally should stop anyway.
― The Reverend, Saturday, 22 March 2014 06:52 (ten years ago) link
Guest raps on otherwise fairly faithful covers of songs that didn't have a rap to begin with are just generally a bad look, Wale or not

When I saw Miguel live he had a stereotypical bar-band guitarist in his band
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 14:30 (ten years ago) link
there's a lot of amused posts about his guitarist itt, who looks goofy but adds some great stuff to "Adorn" and some other songs imo
― posi riot (some dude), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 14:34 (ten years ago) link
I'm just reminded of how I much better the song "Game of Love" would be if it didn't have Santana on it.
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 14:37 (ten years ago) link
love his guitarist

i'm into the santana joint but why is santana's guitar tone so gross and plasticky.
― Merdeyeux, Sunday, 20 April 2014 02:52 (ten years ago) link
I think you mean... smooth
Also yeah Miguel's guitarist is great!

one of my local stations played "Simple Things" during their new music hour recently. would be funny if the single ended up being something that's already been out for months and months again like with "Adorn."

― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 13 September 2014 18:40 (ten years ago) link
"simple things" is dope but it would be cool if he came back with something like "adorn" that just screams HIT
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 13 September 2014 19:11 (ten years ago) link
agreed

That's my tweet! Yeah he announced it at the show last night, which was killer even for the short set that it was:
Kaleidoscope DreamThe ThrillSimple ThingsAll I Want is YouSure ThingPower TripHow Many DrinksAnd then ended with Adorn of course.
The Mack Wilds set wasn't bad either.
― Greer, Saturday, 13 September 2014 20:51 (ten years ago) link
oh my gosh that's about as good as a setlist that short could be. sneak in "do you" and it'd be perfect. excited there'll be a new album so soon <3

i know a lot of people here loved "Adorn" from the jump but my point was nobody really had an idea it was gonna be a radio song (let alone a huge #1 radio song) for the first 6 months or so it was out. not to say "Simple Things" will be that but it feels like a grower to me.
― some dude, Saturday, 13 September 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
it's kind of just at dope album track level tho :/
― The Reverend, Sunday, 14 September 2014 01:46 (ten years ago) link
he put out a video for it a few months ago too, although it's just kind of a low key thing in the vein of the "The Thrill" and "Candles In The Sun" videos
― some dude, Sunday, 14 September 2014 02:00 (ten years ago) link
fell into a live miguel youtube wormhole and I realized one thing I really love about him is he never gives the same vocal performance twice. he's always toying with the songs, venturing further out.
