yeah i'm not saying the on-air gotcha is better as a rule, just saying in some ways being that bald-faced about it is preferable to the alternative

Not to defend these guys, but "Didn't people arbitrarily make up a gay rumor about you recently?" is a lot less direct than "Are you gay?"

"use me" totally hit me on the train back to london this evening
i love the natural way he flips between nervous submission and aggression in the chorus, over and over
the album is really wonderfully sequenced in its final form - almost perfect even if the nature of its release means you can't help but want to make a couple of tweaks
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:20 (eleven years ago) link
all 3 new songs are completely crucial to it imo - love "where's the fun..." - it's one of those albums where every song seems to balance the final work out just that little bit better

it even makes me happier about my whatever-ness towards "adorn" because it's just a trifle of an intro, it doesn't ask me to be all starry-eyed about it
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:22 (eleven years ago) link
one day, lex, you too will love 'adorn'
― barthes simpson, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 22:36 (eleven years ago) link
this album is fantastic. listening to it at home--as opposed to streaming it at work--the whole thing sounded great. lex otm about how well it's laid out. album version of "candles" is hugely superior, not even sure how that was an issue upthread. have to say, I don't see anything else on this being a hit like "Adorn" but maybe that's just a testament to how strong it is as a collection

i do have mild anxiety that he'll end up w/ The-Dream's career arc (three big singles off the first album, even bigger single off the lead single and then radio turns its back) but i have a feeling this'll do well with follow-up singles.
― jaz a make wardance (some dude), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 01:43 (eleven years ago) link
er 'even bigger lead single off the second album'
― jaz a make wardance (some dude), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 01:44 (eleven years ago) link
will be happy to be proven completely wrong of course, but in a way lex is sort of right about "adorn"--it is a trifle, a beautiful one that has an immediacy that's really compelling and easy to connect with, and it stands out on the album. but w/e hopefully I'm way off, it would be nice if he caught on in a big way
― rob, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:06 (eleven years ago) link
In the last few weeks I've argued with a group of music critics who view this album as a pleasant muddle at best (and who prefer Frank Ocean's record).

Actually, I've probably been overstating my ambivalence. It's definitely one of my top ten albums of the year, it's just that my expectations were sky high.

says the guy who was lukewarm on the rest of miguel's career to this point?
― la goonies (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:18 (eleven years ago) link
what? he only made my favorite song of the past several years? I thought I was pretty clearly on record as being a huge booster of the Art Dealer Chic EPs and loving the singles from the first album.

this is an interesting parallel but for whatever reason it feels like miguel has more momentum right now?

intense excitement at watching new video dampened slightly by ad below the video through which I find out chris brown has a single out called 'don't judge me'
― barthes simpson, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:45 (eleven years ago) link
or maybe i'm projecting but i guess i always sort of felt like we were on this wild ride with terius, like it was so hilarious & crazy that he turned into a radio star that i wasn't even really surprised when it dried up. terius felt to me like an autuer who happened to trickle up in a weird flash, but miguel feels like a career radio artist who just happens to be sneaking really good, cool shit into his songs.

hey everybody, aren't you excited about the OFFICIAL remix of "Adorn" featuring Wiz Khalifa? no? wait, where are you going?
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
i think that's just a freestyle that they tacked onto the album since it already existed
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 02:51 (eleven years ago) link
haha i posted that itt the other day
a LOT of 'official remixes' these days start out as some big star doing a freestyle and then the orig. artist's label goes and decides to put their cosign on it

lol @ the headphones scene for that moment in the song, kind of perfect

For whatever it's worth, the internet tells me that's his real life girlfriend Nazanin Mandi.

had an amazing moment vibesing to adorn on the underground yesterday when i walked past a near-exact miguel doppelganger, this lil tiny stylish mexi-asiatic lookin dude rocking an impressive quiff wearing a leather jacket. sort of wanted to pick him up and throw him in the air in celebration
then a moment of terror thinking i can't believe i used to have an even bigger quiff than that wait how many of those guys do i ever see in life was that him????

mm, maybe for a garden gnome
is 'do you' the official next single then? sounded like a smash to me but i wondered if they'd edit out druuuugs and more importantly how exactly. anyone heard it in the wild?
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:37 (eleven years ago) link
It'll be fascinating watching "Do You" climb the R&B chart
― the ones that I'm near most: fellow outcasts and ilxors (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:39 (eleven years ago) link
i think it's always been planned as the follow up to "adorn" and i guess they're going through with that
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link

single version on spotify goes "do you like looooove"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
it reasons that's why they changed the name from "drugs" to "do you..."
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 21:51 (eleven years ago) link
OK, so it's a quite a weird track that way, right? I really like it a lot, but find myself thinking in pretty open-ended ways about the sentiment, and the way it's phrased.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
well it's a pun, it starts out with "do you like drugs" like a question and then at the end adds "i'm gonna do you like drugs tonight"
― la goonies (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
so does he say "i'm gonna do you like love tonight"? need to listen to that single edit
