I kinda doubt that. Seems like his label decided they wanted to push it and needed a more conventional structure/length.

hopefully someone will ask him in an interview at some point, i'm genuinely curious

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.

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

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
― J0rdan S., Monday, 16 July 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
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
― some dude, Monday, 16 July 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
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 sounds great.
― n00bs on my damn chain (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link
"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
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:28 (eleven years ago) link
both songs are really dense... "use me" really gives off this vibe that he's, like, in the middle of a thunderstorm or something. but in a way that really works.
chorus is killer
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:37 (eleven years ago) link
serious jaw drop at "use me"

where is the CDQ mixtape downloadable from the website???
― smells like ok (soda) (dayo), Friday, 27 July 2012 01:26 (eleven years ago) link
dunno about anyone else but I love when Miguel belts
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 27 July 2012 01:28 (eleven years ago) link
I need to stop listening to this off the website, I'm gonna burn out
― smells like ok (soda) (dayo), Friday, 27 July 2012 01:40 (eleven years ago) link
man, dude packs so much music into just two new song; this is so much to digest. Love how substantial both of these tracks are
― Evan R, Friday, 27 July 2012 01:48 (eleven years ago) link
minor miracle I was somehow able to get the Spin site to stream these for me. Never has any luck accessing anything on that site before, so glad it came through for me when it counted
― Evan R, Friday, 27 July 2012 01:50 (eleven years ago) link
"adorn" is slowly rising on the r&b chart too
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 01:56 (eleven years ago) link
"use me" is stunning
"don't look back" sounds a bit too much like a ryan tedder collaboration or something but i don't dislike it
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 01:57 (eleven years ago) link
so i guess the album has 11 songs, if my math is right? good number imo
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 01:59 (eleven years ago) link
I've learned never to underestimate the dude's capacity for writing songs that grow on me. Even fucking "Broads" eventually wormed its way past my "i should hate this" shield
― Evan R, Friday, 27 July 2012 02:00 (eleven years ago) link
you're a brave man, Evan
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 27 July 2012 02:00 (eleven years ago) link
his singing on "don't look back" is good tho
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 02:02 (eleven years ago) link
how prince is the title "kaleidoscope dream" btw? love it
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 02:05 (eleven years ago) link
Stay tuned: On Wednesday morning, August 1, SPIN will also be exclusively premiering a stream of Miguel's performance from an upcoming secret live show.
really excited about this, there's not tons of video of him playing live out there. especially the new stuff, if at all.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 July 2012 02:06 (eleven years ago) link
Wonder if Miguel is paying incredibly in-depth homage to Smashing Pumpkins by naming his multi-part digital album Kaleidoscope Dream.
― Evan R, Friday, 27 July 2012 03:45 (eleven years ago) link
lol i was listening to "use me" w/ the door partly closed while my boyfriend was in the kitchen and when i got up and went in there he said he thought it sounded like a smashing pumpkins song
