When you have the best fucking song of the year, you can get away with teasing people for four months before the climax.

does anyone have a link to an interview in which he discusses writing and recording these EPs?

this was on the original version too, at least mine
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
well it is and it isn't - something like it is there but not so high pitched and forward in the mix
― Faith in Humanity: Restored (dayo), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
oh I dunno -- it was always prominent

112 'Cupid' is still the best song featuring the water drop.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
maybe I just have an earlier mixed version of the 2:19 one? xp

i was thinking about starting a thread on this actually. "laundromat" all the way

Brainwasher, Rev and I did an outoud.fm theme night on this, it turned up some great jams.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:16 (eleven years ago) link
Ha, I forgot about that. Earliest example I can think of is Prince's "Crazy You"
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:34 (eleven years ago) link
anyone have a download?

I listened to the new versh on headphones and yeah the little 'pop' sound is not very noticeable, it really pops on my speakers tho
― Faith in Humanity: Restored (dayo), Thursday, 28 June 2012 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
this has been your 'pop' update
― Faith in Humanity: Restored (dayo), Thursday, 28 June 2012 01:56 (eleven years ago) link
definitely sticks out more in this mix, i feel like the bassline is more at the forefront, too.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 June 2012 02:23 (eleven years ago) link
miguel is so good w/ backing vocals. i could listen to an entire album of his just layering oohs and ahhs w/o even writing actual "songs"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 28 June 2012 03:34 (eleven years ago) link
not sure how I'd restrain myself if I watched him record the "ahhhs" in "All"

Not sure the extra bit of Adorn really makes it a measurably better or worse song, but that's mostly cause it was already great.
Arch N Point also my most played 2012 track thus far.
― to welcome jer.fairall, pie is served. (jer.fairall), Friday, 29 June 2012 00:46 (eleven years ago) link
i dunno if it feels obvious to anyone else but it seems really clear to me that "Adorn" was 3 minutes long to begin with and the first version released was truncated, rather than the ending being added after the fact. the awkward 'ooh ooh' on the original ending actual fits now.
― goonrise zingdom (some dude), Friday, 29 June 2012 03:26 (eleven years ago) link
actually
I kinda doubt that. Seems like his label decided they wanted to push it and needed a more conventional structure/length.
― The Reverend, Friday, 29 June 2012 03:42 (eleven years ago) link
hopefully someone will ask him in an interview at some point, i'm genuinely curious
― goonrise zingdom (some dude), Friday, 29 June 2012 03:47 (eleven years ago) link
ditto
― The Reverend, Friday, 29 June 2012 03:54 (eleven years ago) link
Not much to add. Art Dealer Chic EPs are the shit. But hey, let's make a pact not to mention Prince for a while, let this breathe.
― Popture, Saturday, 30 June 2012 07:37 (eleven years ago) link
full version doesn't make me care about "adorn" any more than i did already, no matter how much i listen that song goes in one ear and out the other
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Monday, 2 July 2012 09:41 (eleven years ago) link
"adorn" is my favorite song of the decade after "lemme smang it"
― J0rdan S., Monday, 2 July 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link
"Adorn" is now the most-listened to song on my last.fm
― The Reverend, Monday, 2 July 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
fwiw the top three most watchec videos of "adorn" on youtube total 5m+ views w/ zero promo
― J0rdan S., Monday, 2 July 2012 22:51 (eleven years ago) link
I watch the A&P video at least twice a week lol
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 2 July 2012 22:59 (eleven years ago) link
is there an official video?
i haven't been able to watch youtubes for about a month on this dying laptop
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Monday, 2 July 2012 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, "adorn" & "arch & point" have official videos
the "arch & point" one is fantastic
― J0rdan S., Monday, 2 July 2012 23:02 (eleven years ago) link
if i can ever stop dithering and buy a new laptop maybe i'll get to see them one day
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Monday, 2 July 2012 23:06 (eleven years ago) link
hopefully

Arch n Point video is almost as sexy as the song.

The Miguel and Jhene Aiko show is one of Myspace's two free secret shows in July, brought to you by the makers of Trojan® Charged™ condoms.

nyc kids, he's playing w/ jamie xx & pearson sound on aug 4

xp I bet Miguel and Jhene are pretty damn good for condom sales
― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Monday, 16 July 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
i just thought there was something kind of amazing and perfect about the triangulation of Miguel, MySpace and Trojan

haha word

MySpace is such a harsh connotation, though. I'll forever associate that site with a whole movement of mostly disbanded emo acts I was slightly too old to fully understand

"use me" is amazing
"don't look back" i'm not so sure about
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:27 (eleven years ago) link
"use me" is as good as anything he's put out this year imo
