thread of miguel

Not bad. The hashtag is the worst part about it.

I'm saying this one specific song is not too short!

whoa mariah comes in with a purpose

i think she feels a bit grafted onto the song but that's sorta besides the point

she does feel grated onto it, but it sounds like a duet enough so i'm good, but yeah fuck, this could've been a great solo miggy track obvs

grafted*

mariah getting grated onto a song does sound interesting tho

Miguel spending the first verse singing about how beautiful Mariah is = the red carpet

she sounds good: less raspy than has been her wont.

Somebody should make a "radio edit" that swaps out Mariah for Kendrick, just to troll

this is pretty good. nearly worthy of the massive e-hype.

lol i can't believe that ended up being the actual single cover tho.

yeah the single art is fucking awful

omggggggg yes

glad mariah is mostly full-voice, only a little bit breathy but yeah I love this. I feel like I can rely on Miguel to bring the good handclap action

her entrance is beautiful

i think the balance of how much mariah there is is interesting. can't rly think of other big names releasing something with this template (coming in on the 2nd verse). it's kinda like she just thinks the song is cooler that way, and i get it. i mean, he is driving the bike, i assume

THIS SONG IS PERFECT

just listening to it on repeat

they feel pretty perfectly balanced - miguel in the driving seat but boyyyy mariah's entrance is something, and then she immediately takes it UP a notch

no way does she feel grafted on, you one track minded fanboys

the guitar is amazing

and wow: written and produced by just Miguel and Carey. I thought she'd indenture her phalanx of collaborators.

lex calling us fanboys is ironic i feel like

Wow, just heard it on the adult contemporary radio station they play in the restaurant where I grabbed lunch today. Nice.

does anyone actually have the explicit versh btw? the only one on uk itunes blanks out the swearing :(

mariah's "OH! how you thrill me!" >>>>>>>>>>>

and yeah it's so frustratingly both the perfect length and infinitely too short because why would i not want this to continue playing forever

the little laughs in the background <3

i have the feeling this is gonna be like "how many drinks" where the fucks are censored as artistic decision

i kinda like how the censoring makes "with an ass like that" sound like "with an act like that"

i definitely listened to it 4 times on my huge headphones immediately upon waking up

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU RUN RED LIGHTS

i am v happy

that opening harmony is rad

OH YR KILLIN ME
OH YOU KNOW IT AIN'T FAIR

a friend who is a mariah fan dislikes this song and i'm convinced his ears are broken and i'm so mad about it

yell at him

i am right now! he's comparing it to "billionaire" and "i'm yours" and i hate him now

ex-friendz

this song is yr friend now

I'm very much into the TO ME TO MEEEE'S in this

this thing practically shimmers

and yeah it's so frustratingly both the perfect length and infinitely too short because why would i not want this to continue playing forever

where's the fun in forever?

should i listen to it again b4 i get home or save up for the bass at my apt

today of all days I leave my good headphones at home and have to listen to this through horrible apple earbuds ohhhh such a sadface

i cannot wait for waking up on a hot summer morning and BLASTING this

the sea of mariahs under the 1st verse is p nice

otm

i love the amp buzz

yeah

for some reason 'pizza is mine' gets stuck in my head after i listen to this, every time

LOVE THIS MORE THAN LIFE

it's tough to praise this adequately but the commonplace? familiar? way the chord changes and melody play off each other is so good, the non-surprise surprise of the move(s) at "mean a thing...", you know?

i am feeling emotional

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU RUN RED LIGHTS

haha yes this line

i am literally just navigating different screens looking for anything that says mariah #beautiful

so where/what are the cusswords in this? i thought it was maybe in the chorus but now i don't think so

i gotta say when alfred said it i didnt realise the hashtag was actually actually in the song title... shit is unpardonable
