i've just been going around for the last few days softly singing "i wanna do you like drugs toniiiiiiiiiiight"

in the past 9 months where i've grown to view miguel as a singular genius i have to sometimes constantly remind myself that he can write some really hilariously corny lyrics
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 01:55 (eleven years ago) link
but then he can also write something as dope as "we can be the riot in the air tonight"
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 01:56 (eleven years ago) link
i feel like i've been able to reconcile his good ideas and bad ideas as part of an overall appealing package ever since he looked as goofy as he did in the video for a song as good as "Sure Thing"
wow @ "Do You..."

i feel like we've got so much in common now, right about now baby
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:03 (eleven years ago) link
I think his lacking a "star" profile (yet) makes the occasional poor articulation of musical ideas more interesting.

i've been going back and forth about whether or not he says "do you like hugs?" right before this
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:09 (eleven years ago) link
wonder if that's him on gee-tar on "Do You"
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:10 (eleven years ago) link
he does say "do you like hugs?"
other talents aside, he's a singer I love listening to
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:13 (eleven years ago) link
haha and what sounds like "do you like drugs" in the outro
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, September 7, 2012 11:10 PM (23 seconds ago) Bookmark
maybe. production is credited to jerry wonda but miguel definitely played something on it.
"the thrill" is a solo production. title track is remi.

oh this is definitely what he says. it's a play on words at the beginning of the song ("do you like drugs?") and the end ("i'ma do you like drugs")
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:15 (eleven years ago) link
yeah he says "do you like hugs" a few times.
I'm liking how, the more of the album I hear, the more distinctly an overall sonic aesthetic is emerging, and yet each instance of it sounds so singular and distinct.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:20 (eleven years ago) link
ugh two uses of "distinct", but you get me.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:21 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that's definitely the main thing about this. i've heard the entire thing now, it sounds really good as a whole. dude just has a very strong idea of what he wants to sound like, just very singular and his singing is of course impeccable across the whole thing. the parts of the album that aren't out yet are still different but you can definitely feel his vision tracing thru the whole thing.

jesus christ the restless bass on "do you"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 8 September 2012 03:28 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah that kind of sub-bass is basically my favorite thing in music. His vocals on the last half are badass too. Great track.

Its just as good (if not better) on The Thrill. just rumbles along down there.

still think rtc's offhand springsteen comparison is the most on-base one i've seen so far - it's kind of where it clicked into place for me (which is weird b/c i don't even care about springsteen)

until Salaam Remi and Jerry Wonda had tracks side by side on this it never occurred to me that 2 different Fugees producers from back in the day have had pretty good careers the last few years

jordan what did he do with "pussy is mine"?
― k3vin k., Saturday, 8 September 2012 11:37 (eleven years ago) link
that seems like a personal question

"pussy is mine" is on the album, it's pretty close to iirc what he was doing live. just him & the guitar and then it leads into the stripped down version of "candles in the sun"
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 September 2012 15:52 (eleven years ago) link
with samples of John Lennon saying "I have found out personally, not for the whole world, that the pussy is mine"

not really feeling the Labi Siffre appropriation on the title track. Do You is tremendous though

j0rdan please tell me that you think this album is better than channel BORING so that i can merely jealous of you hearing it and not resentful as well
― manic pixie, mercy, yo chick she's so quirky (some dude), Saturday, 8 September 2012 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
no, be resentful as well

My fear is that Miguel's album is as boring as Ocean's. The heart can't handle these kinds of blows.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link
already impossible based on the tracks that are out now

New tracks are great. Still constantly shocked and delighted over how this whimpy dude with a really muffled mixtape I somehow downloaded and a nice song with J. Cole became one of my favorite contemporary artists
― Evan R, Monday, 10 September 2012 03:54 (eleven years ago) link
idk if miguel changed it up or what but just noticed the double tracked whispers on 'use me'

"Adorn" is now his second R&B #1.

'the thrill' makes me cry every time i hear it
― maura, Thursday, 13 September 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
(in a good way)
"adorn" will almost certainly be officially his biggest hit ever next week
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 September 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
it's #41 on the new hot 100
― maura, Thursday, 13 September 2012 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
third #1 if you count "Lotus Flower Bomb"

pro tip: sing "sensitive thuuuuuuugs, sensitive thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs" to the tune of "Do You"
― tuomas without a nose ring (The Reverend), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 05:42 (eleven years ago) link
Shouldn't it be "sensitive thuuuuuugs, do you need huuuuuuugs?"

Listening to "Kaleidoscope Dream" (the song), it occurs to me that Miguel's Prince appropriations are at times startlingly like Me'Shell Ndgeocello's Prince appropriations.
