thread of miguel

I don't remember the last show I saw where the headliner didn't lead a Trump diss. I just saw Kesha then Rae Sremmurd do it

hillary should have him do that at the victory party

Woulda thought Trump (and his people) would be too busy at this point to worry about what's going on at a Miguel concert, but...

so good

a little on the nose but enjoyable

I like it!

love 2 have fun w/ miguel

Everything Premiere has done for the last 20 years has been on the nose, but I love how he just keeps doing his thing, regardless of whether it's in style or not.

This would have fit right in on All I Want is You

it's ok

love 2 have fun w/ miguel

so good

i want a gif of snoop at 1:07

sounds v v v good yes

Yikes, "Sky Walker" is not good.

Sounds like he was going for some kind of Rae Sremmurd vibe and coming up short. Will this be on the album? I hope not...

barf this is awful

yeah, not enjoyable.

uh oh

can I unhear this

obv this is far from an ideal miguel single but i don't hate it. it actually could fit pretty seamlessly into the dreamy middle section of kaleidoscope dream.

also i like wildheart and defended it at the time, but i'll be happy if he bends back towards radio music instead of following his rock star muse even further down that rabbit hole. despite this song i think it will be good for him... he made better music when he was trying to get played on R&B radio

AIWIY is his best album

This could easily have fitted on Kaleidoscope Dream and (especially) on Wildheart, it doesn't feel like such a radical left turn for me. Travis Scott should be nowhere near it obviously, but it's otherwise fine.

travis scott sounds good on it i think... it nods at his sound w/o being a direct rip off. my main problem is that i can't credibly buy miguel singing about his haters

It's not the subject matter I have a problem with; it's the intrinsic lameness. He sounds like a colossal doofus

also I he could tone down the boyishness and maybe turn up the grown-man factor a bit. like the song is this close to having a line about how warm coco feels good in his tum tum

lol oh dear. it is not completely awful but it is very... meandering? and yes goofy. sounds like an interlude that shouldn't have been extended to a full-length song.

he made better music when he was trying to get played on R&B radio

i agree with this!

I wish he recorded more R&B and not these pieces of chewy toffee.

im not defending this song exactly (tho i do like it more than you guys) as much as the direction it would indicate he's heading in, which i think is healthy

imo this makes a nice "welp 2017" bookend to the new taylor swift single

idk this sounds fine to me. flow is sremmurdish?

i agree w J0rdan about the direction; wildheart was too rock for me

I agree with the direction that takes Miguel into taking his shirt off.

this would fit in seamlessly among the vibey ballads on the back half of Sremmlife 2 (patti cake, do yoga, swang)

will not stand for the Sremmlife 2 slander but I agree the rock direction was getting grating. His voice was made for R&B

i'm not slandering srem2! i think this song is just fine

seems fine to me. not amazing but not awful

this is great yall trippin

Sounds like a blah Miguel track to me (rather than an atrocity).

more babes than a bath house

this song is whatever

which sadly was my initial reaction to learning there was a new miguel song in 2017

stop trying to make "splish" a thing

This single kind of reminds me when Janelle Monae put out Yoga a couple of years ago. It didn't really fit in with what she'd be doing before (musically and quality-wise) and sounded like she wanted to try and desperately get that summer hit. With the Janelle single, it did give her her first solo Billboard entry but thankfully didn't start the campaign for her third album (although I'd just like signs that there will be a third album at this stage). Hopefully Sky Walker isn't anywhere near Miguel's next album. The song in the Snoop clip sounds much more promising.

um
