'use me' on speakers slays - the overtracked vocals he does at 3:05 really leap out and fill the room

Trying to think of a more satisfying music success story from the last five years or so than Miguel, and I really can't
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
I've read a couple variations of the "Miguel is great and all, but he doesn't have a narrative" argument in the wake of his Grammy spotlight, but I don't really think that's true. "Auteur works his way through the studio system, his vision intact" is a pretty inspiring narrative in its own right these days
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
if someone's narrative "is good at making music, finds success in making music, also is sexy," then that's not really a narrative, it's just image and/or simple facts.
― BIG REUSS aka the fun.driver (some dude), Monday, 11 February 2013 21:25 (eleven years ago) link
like contrasted to the human interest element of the obvious comparison point of Frank Ocean, it's pretty different
― BIG REUSS aka the fun.driver (some dude), Monday, 11 February 2013 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I get that. But it's pretty rare these days for a singer with few ties to any other established stars or elite circles to find success on the scale Miguel has, and I think that's something worth celebrating. Nobody's gonna make a movie about it, but it's a nice reminder that the industry works sometimes
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
i'm pretty glad i've managed to avoid whoever is saying "Miguel is great and all, but he doesn't have a narrative" up until now, thank you very much
― manti 乒乓 (k3vin k.), Monday, 11 February 2013 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
I like Miguel and all but you can't exactly say he has few ties to established stars or elite circles, dude has been on two separate majors and lots of features with major artists.
― katherine, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:07 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno. He obviously collaborates with big names here and there, but he feels like an independent contractor. He doesn't have a central allegiance the way a lot of his contemporaries do
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
it's fair to say he has relied on guest rappers and stuff like that less than most R&B artists in his lane or at his career level, and that most of the big co-signs he's gotten have come AFTER he proved himself with big solo hits. but it's all relative, in some ways he's very industry, in some ways he's kind of off the beaten path. xp
― BIG REUSS aka the fun.driver (some dude), Monday, 11 February 2013 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
xp So many of his contemporaries are beholden to the clique that spawned them or the bigger star that sired them. That's not the case with Miguel.
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
he's beholden to ILM.

I've read a couple variations of the "Miguel is great and all, but he doesn't have a narrative" argument
what is this argument? what are the people making it actually trying to say? is it a complaint? o_0
― lex pretend, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:25 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's a compliment; the gist is that Miguel doesn't have that same narrative advantages Frank Ocean had. Which, yeah, that's true; there's no inspiring, groundbreaking story there to fuel the buzz, so the music has to stand on its own
― Evan R, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:29 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the closest thing he has to an ~angle~ is vaguely aligning himself with ~indie r&b~ (and the conscious way he does this is pretty lol, it's like he knows it's just savvy marketing/branding - esp considering how little he sounds like anyone else under that umbrella)
― lex pretend, Monday, 11 February 2013 22:31 (eleven years ago) link
in the UK, he's had coverage without even any heavy PRing
