thread of miguel

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

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.

you could be better

luckily there is a remedy, it is this record

i kinda love pitbull but no

think you mean wale buddy

leave pitbull alone

ok whoa @ "leaves"

who's got a publicist contact for the man

(London tickets on sale as of an hour ago for Brixton Academy in October, by the way...)

bonus tracks are great/weird

wait there are bonus tracks

full length "destinado", "simple things," "gfg" (stands for "good fucking girl" and is mostly a weird digressive landscape), and a great great great song called "damned"

wait "destinado a morir" was on the main track listing of the promo before "hollywood dreams" iirc

yeah as a 1:30 interlude.

I have to say that a lot of this album sounds like "weird digressive landscapes."

Not really. Only "The Valley" and "Flesh" get too dense.

I should add that it is still very early in my relationship with the album (well, obviously), so I'm hoping/expecting it to come into focus for me later, but my initial impression was still kind of, "ok, but where are the *songs*?"

("Coffee" very much excepted, of course. Song of the Year so far, for me.)

"flesh" is dope imo

wait till you get to the last two songs, crypto

"flesh" is sooo good

there are so many *songs* here, consider for instance "waves" and "hollywood dreams"

the songs are masterpieces of deceptively casual understatement and pacing, i've only had this 5 days and i've already played it like 20 times
