thread of miguel

Very moving song. This would choke me up if I heard it late at night on the radio.

kind of minor but it's alright

Yeah

sounds like one of the Art Dealer Chic tracks that didn't make my final cut.

It repeats some of the same sounds as ADC/KD, so it's a bit redundant in that sense, but the sentiments are a lot more realized. The song definitely connects in a way the lesser ADC tracks didn't

as a tune it's like a 7.5 out of 10 but lyrically it aligns w/ my life to a scary degree so i'm kind of smitten

i just want someone to smoke with me, babe
and lay with me, babe
and laugh with me, babe
i just want the simple things

preach bruh

ick on the free spirit stuff though

well yeah but that idea is always lurking in his music

i hear this as a companion piece to "#beautiful" in a few ways

xxxp

I mean, who doesn't want that kind of companionship? It's a beautifully simple, universal sentiment.

Song would have been a better Kaleidoscope Dream closer than "Candles in the Sun," since the personal scope is way more in keeping with the rest of the album than the babies on crack/save the world goofiness of "Candles"

i hope the rock direction of these latest two freebies are some experimentation though and not a BOLD NEW DIRECTION

His greatest gift is to change these banalities he barely sketches into privileged moments, in every sense: the audience is almost playing voyeur.

i think this and the Adult Swim track are probably coming out between album cycles pointedly because they're inaccessible little things that don't pose a threat of popping off and becoming a radio hit before they've started gearing up the promotional machine. also they sound self-produced, maybe he's doing a lot of stuff on his own before he goes in the studio with outside producers to get something more polished. the guitar was always there, though, there's YouTubes of him playing covers on guitar from a year before the first album. maybe it'll be on the next album heavier, though, i could see it.

yeah i mean it's a thin line cf his live shows but i hope he stays more r&b

"Arch & Point" worked as genre exercise AND song but yeah I wouldn't want a whole album of clones.

a whole album of "Use Me"s however

His live show is guitar heavy to an album obnoxious degree (it's cool at first but after a while it begins to feel like a Living Colour concert or something). He's got a good thing going on urban radio, though, so I'm sure he's not going to sacrifice that by going full Chili Peppers on his next major release

I like the guitar heavy stuff, so I don;'t really mind.

This is def better than that adult swim track.

Heard the first line as "She said, 'I don't want a Midol.'"

Miguel and The Jets

Mi-mi-mi-mi-Miguel and the Jets

Less annoying than the original. But then again, most things are.

The original used to bug me a lot but ultimately became one of my favorite Elton songs. Miggy's version is FIRE.

that synth bass is killer. hope his next album has some stuff with that sound.

Pointless, but, man, I get so much pleasure from hearing him sing, partly because he does.

can't listen right now but I'll have you know I KILLED THE FUCK OUT OF "Benny" at karaoke a month or two back, Kate78 can back me up on this

did you then proceed to leap over the bar and kick some poor woman in the head?

love it, love it.

based on this and his A+ Zombies cover on 'don't look back', I'd love to hear him do a covers album at some point in the future

Woah, liked this

I finally like this song.

kinda feel sorry4u if benny wasn't your #1 elton jam to begin with tbh

right?

Not even Wale could ruin this. But Wale really should stop anyway.

Wale is so neutral and faceless that he's usually only a problem if left to his own devices. He ain't fuckin up shit. But Walereally should stop anyway.

Guest raps on otherwise fairly faithful covers of songs that didn't have a rap to begin with are just generally a bad look, Wale or not

yall dont have the benny & the jets live at bowery ballroom bootleg w guest rap by a young kurtis blow?

here is miguel's collab with carlos santana WAIT COME BACK IT'S PRETTY MUCH A MIGUEL SONG WITH A THICKER GUITAR PART

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OZ6CHAkRhI

To date "Arch n Point" is the only guitar joint of his that's worked imo

ehh its alright, some corny lines

Vixen?

I'd call Do You a guitar joint also

also Use Me, The Thrill, #Beautiful...

does this mean rob thomas is gonna collab with mariah?

i wonder if this show will include new stuff http://www.bestbuytheater.com/events/detail/249785

When I saw Miguel live he had a stereotypical bar-band guitarist in his band

there's a lot of amused posts about his guitarist itt, who looks goofy but adds some great stuff to "Adorn" and some other songs imo

I'm just reminded of how I much better the song "Game of Love" would be if it didn't have Santana on it.

love his guitarist
