thread of miguel

i sort of love it, like "how many drinks" is a nice song but no one in 10 years was ever gonna be like oh man, i should track down his performance of "how many drinks" on SNL

dig it

^ mawg

But if someone only saw that version of "How Many Drinks" and had never heard "Adorn" I could see them not being convinced of Miguel's talent.

if you're not already on board idk what to tell you

otm

yeah but i mean it is cool when he goes on tv and wins over some of the kelly clarksons of the world -- album is still a ways from going gold, would be great if his fanbase keeps growing

otm too

i really like that he continues to experiment and stretch his songs into new shapes but i was making a screwface at him for most of that "how many drinks" performance

feels like a disappointing choice of single for several reasons in any case

yeah but its got legs... i too would have liked to see an alterno version of 'do you'

^^^ !!! not a big fan of "how many drinks", but i'd gladly take a bullet for "do you"

ha this performance is hilarious. would probably come off better as a cool surprise 50 minutes into a set, or even as a tag at the end of the "Adorn" performance, but hey it's SNL, he got two songs, he wanted to take a risk with the 2nd one, might as well do it there since he wouldn't get to on the Tonight Show or w/e.

what would the radio version of "do you" be like... do u like dogs?

do you like mugs
do you like mugs
Yeah? Me too.
Do you like decaf coffee
plastic spoons
Mama said "Bad idea –
lattes in June"

the actual radio version that radio has been playing for the last 6 months goes "do you like love"

plus hugs

yeah but the hugs were already in the original version

also iirc it ends with the bummer of "i'm gonna do you like ____ tonight"

shame he never caught onto "sensitive thugs / do you need hugs"

those snl performances are the best

never gonna be able to say that sentence again

im not gonna hold yr dick miguel

why not?

this reminds me of the video where he's having air sex

HMD vid is hella dope, love the cinematography

also kendricks verse is good

big homie's on the new mariah single apparently

i read they were shooting a video and aaaaahhhhh yessssss

hm can't quite imagine how that collabo might go

yeah...after he went to work on alicia's album and ended up w/ a solo cut with her backing vox, it's increasingly hard to really predict what his work w/ mariah or beyonce will sound like, especially since he hasn't even really done a duet w/ any female singer at this point, has he? will he cave to pressure to give people the "adorn" knockoff they probably want, throw a curveball, etc.

miggy just tweeted this fan remix which i can't quite get my head around yet https://soundcloud.com/cashmerecat/do-you-cashmere-cat-remix

haha wow someone went full retard

lol the pharrell "beautiful" ad libs

this is how my thoughts went
1.) hmm okay i can get this
2.) whoa this is getting really busy with the vocal cut ups
3.) this thing's got way too many ideas in it
4.) wait maybe the purpose of this is to be so schizophrenic
5.) is this what the kids are into these days?? is this "edm"???

This really is called "Do You Cashmere Cat? (Remix)", right?

Elle Varner cowrote "Use Me"!?

they should do a duet, that would be hot on that track

yeah they should totally do a duet but part of that track's hotness is that miguel is basically singing it as a duet with himself

true

I can't be alone in loving what he does on the new J Cole single...

i like that he makes the most of his very tiny half chorus by singing it a distinctly different way every time, but honestly the song would be just about as good without him on it, feels almost like a perfunctory 'let's add an R&B singer to this song even though it already has a hook' move.

i like r&b singers used as accents on rap songs, so i'm into it

that's a really great song but i've never 100% warmed to the beat

"power trip" is fine but i think it's ridiculous that it gets so much more respect than "nobody's perfect"

His bit on Talib Kweli's "Come Here" is good as sung verse but man are the verses pedestrian on both sides.

"Sure Thing" was produced by happy perez???

"Don't Look Back" too!

XD
