thread of miguel

stop trying to make "splish" a thing

This single kind of reminds me when Janelle Monae put out Yoga a couple of years ago. It didn't really fit in with what she'd be doing before (musically and quality-wise) and sounded like she wanted to try and desperately get that summer hit. With the Janelle single, it did give her her first solo Billboard entry but thankfully didn't start the campaign for her third album (although I'd just like signs that there will be a third album at this stage). Hopefully Sky Walker isn't anywhere near Miguel's next album. The song in the Snoop clip sounds much more promising.

Now THIS sucks.

who's MIgue?

Miguel is bad now :(

yeah this one isn't good at all. produced by pop & oak tho. fwiw given that it's 2:30 it seems more like a little teaser thing than something serious.

ok this version of "skywalker" is pretty great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwVwpAjB6vY

also this song is still the shit to me

His new look reminds me of the grownup version of a child actor from "The Cosby Show" or something.

i think the dreads are hot & these arrangements really lean into like the whole neo-soul stoner vibe

It's not the dreads so much as the shirt.

I like that "Skywalker" version – more of this, please, not power chords.

"Come Through and Chill" is good and I'm glad he's outgrown his rawk phase, but I'm not really feeling driftless beach bum Miguel at all.

On All I Want Is You and Kaleidoscope Dream (and even the Mischief tape) he was so hungry for the music he was making, he was just fiending for it. Not he seems so indifferent and disengaged. Not into it at all; feels like he's lost his muse and doesn't even care to replace it

i can tell you what his muse is, it's weed

I thought his cat was :(

I guess this confirms "Come Through and Chill" was an album preview.

this is ok. why is it coming out at the end of the summer though

That Late Show tv version of "Skywalker" sounds better than the Miguel by numbers version I have heard on late-night programming on a Baltimore r'n'b/rap station. The radio version isn't terrible, just formulaic mostly.

Miguel is living his best life but making his worst music

file under sad but true

He lost me completely

Good for him that his finally getting mainstream feats and recognition but I don’t think it’ll last too long if he doesn’t bring back the awesomeness of his previous albums.

he's probably at his lowest ebb of mainstream recognition right now...

classic moka/j0rdan

ive warmed up to skywalker def

i mean, i guess this probably shouldn't count as it's a cartoon soundtrack duet cut but this makes three bad tracks in a row

ugh saw Miguel on the new music list and got excited, pretty bad though

i've come all the way around on "sky walker", i think it's a really fun song. the video sells it well too.

this thread's reaction to it was entirely predictable but also completely incorrect

if you say so. still sounds like garbage to me.

let miguel be cool

i mean it is becoming a hit but idk i still don't really like it

(which is more than i expected would happen, i should say)

it's really catchy & i think has a lot of personality actually

this is great yall trippin

f/w this

sounds like MGMT Electric Feel.

love that song

same. this is good but i like the other one better

this rules. it took a bit but I like Sky Walker now too. Shockandawe is still bad but doesn't seem to be on the album thankfully?

Damn his voice is supple
