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."

"simple things" is dope but it would be cool if he came back with something like "adorn" that just screams HIT

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.

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.

haha same
my guess is that they're gonna try and play that one as the single. we'll prob hear the full version at some point later.

these are great songs. is this a "surprise ep release"? if this is a trend -- e.g., burial, beyonce, d'angelo, maybe miguel (?) -- i'm all for it.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 19 December 2014 13:13 (nine years ago) link
the guitar sound effects on "NWA" sound like he's been listening to Tom Ze.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 19 December 2014 13:18 (nine years ago) link
"surprise" albums are def a thing right now but generally singles or little EPs like this don't have much advance promotion. I don't think there was a lot of Art Dealer Chic hype before the first one dropped. Big Sean dropping 4 songs at once a while back ended up being a good launching pad for his current single, so this does seem to be a format people might switch to instead of full mixtapes or dropping a single by itself.
― christmas with the canks (some dude), Friday, 19 December 2014 13:20 (nine years ago) link
yeah it's sort of an agreeable meeting point... you still get the opportunity to crowdsource a single out of ~3-4 songs w/o having to put out a full album's worth of material and dealing with all that encompasses

i want to wrap myself in the guitar tone on the verses of 'hollywood dreams'
also, wait, did we never talk about his chemical brothers collab in this thread? it's really loud and places his voice in a really excellent new context, and it's one of my favorite songs of the year - i'm hoping he becomes a gallagher-like frequent collaborator for them

we shuddered about the miguel/chem bros track elsewhere iirc
personally i thought it was horrendously awful
― lex pretend, Friday, 19 December 2014 16:37 (nine years ago) link
isn't half as good as the worst track on this EP (of which there isn't one)
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Friday, 19 December 2014 16:41 (nine years ago) link
imo the miguel/chem bros song is fine, chorus is fun
