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

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.

Miguel is bad now :(
― Evan R, Thursday, 7 September 2017 16:28 (six years ago) link
yeah this one isn't good at all. produced by pop & oak tho. fwiw given that it's 2:30 it seems more like a little teaser thing than something serious.

ok this version of "skywalker" is pretty great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwVwpAjB6vY

His new look reminds me of the grownup version of a child actor from "The Cosby Show" or something.

i think the dreads are hot & these arrangements really lean into like the whole neo-soul stoner vibe
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 September 2017 13:53 (six years ago) link
It's not the dreads so much as the shirt.
I like that "Skywalker" version – more of this, please, not power chords.

"Come Through and Chill" is good and I'm glad he's outgrown his rawk phase, but I'm not really feeling driftless beach bum Miguel at all.
― Evan R, Thursday, 21 September 2017 15:34 (six years ago) link
On All I Want Is You and Kaleidoscope Dream (and even the Mischief tape) he was so hungry for the music he was making, he was just fiending for it. Not he seems so indifferent and disengaged. Not into it at all; feels like he's lost his muse and doesn't even care to replace it
― Evan R, Thursday, 21 September 2017 15:36 (six years ago) link
i can tell you what his muse is, it's weed

I guess this confirms "Come Through and Chill" was an album preview.

That Late Show tv version of "Skywalker" sounds better than the Miguel by numbers version I have heard on late-night programming on a Baltimore r'n'b/rap station. The radio version isn't terrible, just formulaic mostly.

Good for him that his finally getting mainstream feats and recognition but I don’t think it’ll last too long if he doesn’t bring back the awesomeness of his previous albums.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 30 September 2017 01:04 (six years ago) link
he's probably at his lowest ebb of mainstream recognition right now...

i've come all the way around on "sky walker", i think it's a really fun song. the video sells it well too.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 October 2017 19:39 (six years ago) link
this thread's reaction to it was entirely predictable but also completely incorrect

if you say so. still sounds like garbage to me.
