thread of miguel

yeah they should totally do a duet but part of that track's hotness is that miguel is basically singing it as a duet with himself

true

I can't be alone in loving what he does on the new J Cole single...

i like that he makes the most of his very tiny half chorus by singing it a distinctly different way every time, but honestly the song would be just about as good without him on it, feels almost like a perfunctory 'let's add an R&B singer to this song even though it already has a hook' move.

i like r&b singers used as accents on rap songs, so i'm into it

that's a really great song but i've never 100% warmed to the beat

"power trip" is fine but i think it's ridiculous that it gets so much more respect than "nobody's perfect"

His bit on Talib Kweli's "Come Here" is good as sung verse but man are the verses pedestrian on both sides.

"Sure Thing" was produced by happy perez???

"Don't Look Back" too!

XD

love it

lolol.. the harmonies in the last 20 secs

A+

SONG OF THE SUMMER

kinda does the Adorn thing of being just a little bit too short, which leaves you wanting more of course

how does mariah carey only have 3000 followers on soundcloud and icona pop has 70,000. mariah needs to fire her social media team

did she just make an account today to release that song?

she has a few other songs up

uhm she did like 15 minutes ago, some other outtakes and stuff, idk

sounds great, but kind of strange that it's basically "Miguel feat. Mariah Carey" on what is supposed to be Mariah's big comeback single

soundcloud is for dorks is how

yeahh this song is the shit, very saadiq

mariah's entrance brings it UP

oh but it needs to be longer wtf, is this the 'adorn' stratagem again

well it's an improvement on rick ross & meek mill ft. mariah carey on her big comeback single

it sure is. but if this one doesn't do it for her, she should do an Ariana Grande feat. Mariah Carey next time.

i was rly expecting her to take back control of the track in those extra two minutes that never came

i guess she knew she was gonna end up in the Miguel thread anyway

3:22 is not too short, it's just right. the 4 minute minimum is one of the worst things about popular music these days.

9 of the last 10 US #1 singles have been under 4 mintues!

it's a def problem in rap radio

wait is this supposed to be her on the back of his bike???

but yeah, incredible tune

3:22 is not too short, it's just right. the 4 minute minimum is one of the worst things about popular music these days.

thnx for the boilerplate grumble but were we not discussing one specific song

damn, mariah owes miggy for this one

Miguel ‏@MiguelUnlimited 4m
unedited version >

!!!

i think there's just a "fuckin" in there somewhere

o i c. up on itunes now i guess

Not bad. The hashtag is the worst part about it.

I'm saying this one specific song is not too short!

whoa mariah comes in with a purpose

i think she feels a bit grafted onto the song but that's sorta besides the point

she does feel grated onto it, but it sounds like a duet enough so i'm good, but yeah fuck, this could've been a great solo miggy track obvs

grafted*

mariah getting grated onto a song does sound interesting tho

Miguel spending the first verse singing about how beautiful Mariah is = the red carpet

she sounds good: less raspy than has been her wont.

Somebody should make a "radio edit" that swaps out Mariah for Kendrick, just to troll

this is pretty good. nearly worthy of the massive e-hype.

lol i can't believe that ended up being the actual single cover tho.

yeah the single art is fucking awful

omggggggg yes

glad mariah is mostly full-voice, only a little bit breathy but yeah I love this. I feel like I can rely on Miguel to bring the good handclap action

her entrance is beautiful
