Alicia Keys is like dope.

A Beautiful Exit/Exit just looks like a standard intro/first song linked together type thing.

he just uploaded a tracklist pic to his instagram, instead of "Exit" there's a song called "DEAL" and the one with the spanish title isn't there (so 12 songs only)

So Pitchfork is going to describe it as sounding like he's faking an orgasm?

gah and now i kind of want to start saying rti myself
this is the thing about migs that not enough people seem to get imho, he is excellent precisely because he is so often very nearly terrible
like idk if it was some italian guy popped up on a harley singing about cigarettes and john lennon and leopard print skirts u would all shrivel up and die
loving his new song 'rude' tho

"Flesh" rather. It's like the boring parts of KD.

"goingtohell" should prob be illegal, holy hell

― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 16 June 2015 02:42 (eight years ago) link
"goingtohell" describes what Migs agreed to for Kravitz to play an excellent solo. I like this one best.

i am surprised he let "face the sun" out pre-release! it is the perfect way to close the album. the "purple rain" nod>>>>>>

"face the sun" ;_; It's such a typical Miguel song too, like it's so obvious and earnest that it should be come across as corny and it kind of does, but somehow you don't care because it's just so good.
also where did he learn to use his voice like that on "Flesh"? (ok, Prince but... damn.)

this album is interesting. i'm not sure you can even call him an r&b singer at this point -- his last album still sort of clung to the notion that he should serve up easy singles to a core R&B audience but this one pretty much sheds that concern entirely. i feel like you can follow the thread from "do you..."/"the thrill" pretty easily to this album and though i think there might be too much grit and not enough effervescence overall, "waves" feels like a pretty nice sequel to "do you...". the production on this feels unique to me, too - it at once... sounds like stone temple pilots (...?) but also has a certain desert landscape expansiveness that is appealing.
i think this was a very honest album for him to make, and though a few times i think it gets in its own head ("the valley" most notably) there are also some flat out great songs ("waves," "leaves," "face the sun") and maybe more to chew on than kaleidoscope dream overall.

i dunno he clearly seems himself as a rock star, not that those two things are necessarily incompatible (prince obv will always loom large over miguel's music) but there's not a lot of "all i want is you" or "sure thing" left in his music. i can see some of the album tracks from his first record as the foundation for this sorta sun-warped sound but i feel like he's deviated from the path. even the funkier, upbeat tracks on this album sound as influenced by KROK as anything.
