thread of miguel

'candles in the sun' is so obv the worst kd kut come on

whereas The Weeknd casts a withering glare on the women he fucks; uses his self-loathing, which is really loathing of any women who would yield to him, as a come-on; and hates himself and her for it. But don't worry -- she's earned it. Repeat cycle.

that song is not about possession but instead entirely about male inadequacy

otm btw

candles in the sun is loose and a bit boring; pussy is mine is a hear-it-once-then-dispose demo
tbh i generally stop after arch and point so i'm not gonna argue too vehemently

I generally stop after "Arch N Point" -- what a way to go.

"Candles in the Sun" is the weakest track. Wish he'd subbed it with "...All."

havent heard this yet because 4ever unsullied obv but it already seems clear to me that j0rd's take repeats his earlier privileging of the idea of effervescence as not something subjectively preferential but essential to migs persona heretofore, and worse tries to grace the point by disingenously equating that efferv (i cannot write this word out again sorry) with r&b as a whole, vs a deeper/heavier/scuzzier/other-er rock. i don't agree with this reading, it just seems cosmetic. u wouldnt hear it for maxwell or d'angelo

I like Candles in the Sun but it doesn't feel like a good album closer. I didn't actually realise it was the album closer until I got the vinyl. All works way better.

i seem to be the only person who thinks "candles in the sun" is great

just love his delivery on it

it's a great song!

I love the Art Dealer Chic "Candles," mostly only enjoy the album version as a reminder of it

yeah the album version of "candles in the sun" is a throwaway

Hi just popping in here to note I'm currently watching an S&M-themed striptease to "Teach Me"

*heavy breathing*

♫ i wanna FUCK like we're filming in the VALLEY ♫

christ, "waves"

"leaves"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

califorrrrrrniaaa

california -> face the sun woooooow

I've loved pretty much everything this guy has done and I'm still shocked by how great this is

waves

fuckin hell Miggy ur doin it

Waves

Hollywood Dreams too, goddamn

<3

after a night w/this am gonna need coffee in the morning

i never much listened for miguel after his first eps cuz i didn't dig them much, but man this is so great already

so many feels. 'the valley', 'flesh', 'waves' and 'hollywood dreams' are so so so great.
also, i really enjoy listening him singing in spanish.

Sounded fucking great on my commute this morning. Also I think I will be obsessed with "Face the Sun" forever

i have so many feels about california, state of, now but i've barely ever even been there

goodness "the valley" is astonishing

"Deal" is giving me runway fashion show, supermodels stomping it out to that beat YESS

i am so addicted to the way he phrases "turns into coffee in the morning"

I've been humming it for six months.

so pretty

i sing it literally every morning because i drink coffee in the morning

also wait what the fuck the official stream isn't available in the UK and my promo stream has EXPIRED -_-

I took care of you, lex

i seem not to have posted itt after his show last week, it was fucking amazing and he sang "no type" and he plays archetypes so well and with just the right amount of self-awareness and the combination of his highest sweetest falsetto and dirty grimy guitar is something i could listen to forever and "leaves", with the guitar turned up, made me think of "summer of 69", which it hasn't on record

i have so many feels about california, state of, now but i've barely ever even been there

as the official california correspondent of ILX, i can confirm that WILDHEART represents california very well

otm

makes me want to rollerskate down venice beach in satin hotpants

i think of WILDHEART as caressing your bae in the backseat of an old convertible while gazing at the stars after aimlessly driving around LA; also psychedelic drugs are involved

Most of these singles on Spotify would benefit from a verse by Pitbull.

ew

what the fuck

*points to door* OUT

I'm just saying it could be better.
