did you guys wanna parse this:
Prior to his performance at Joe’s Pub in NYC this past Tuesday night, Miguel sat with MTV for a brief interview regarding his newly released EP, forthcoming album Kaleidoscope Dream, the unique release plan they are rolling out and he even exclusively revealed the next single coming from the second EP.
Speaking about the upcoming “Kaleidoscope Dreams: Air Preview” EP, he described it as “really light and fun,” and exclusively revealed to MTV that the title of the next single from ‘Air Preview’ is called “Drugs,” and it is sure to get the fans talking.
“Let’s just say the single for the Air Preview should strike up quite a bit of conversation. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Miguel said. “It’s a very personal and, I guess, kind of carefree song.”
Miguel admits that the tracks on Water Preview may be all about romance and relationships, but since his 2010 debut, All I Want Is You, Miguel has done a lot of growing up and says Kaleidoscope Dream is a “clear projection of my life.”
“The first album, All I Want Is You, revolved so much around my romantic experience. I’ve had three major relationships; each one of my girlfriends kind of taught me something new,” Miguel said. “This time around, I wanted to discuss more of my perspective of life — not necessarily with the opposite sex, and I do that on the album as well, but the majority of the album, I would say, is about my life.”

he also started doing drugs?

i don't think him saying the album is not all necessarily about life with the opposite sex = a frank ocean moment.

i still don't get where all the gay talk has even come from w/r/t miguel
― lex pretend, Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
it's because of how he looks
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
There's a lot of uber hetero caricatures out there that have warped things.
― bnw, Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
he doesn't even "look" "gay"

to put that photo in context, that's from when miguel was an extra in "minority report"
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
no -- that's when Miguel was RuPaul.

Whatever that's a bad look for him, visible gutters notwithstanding.
― Tim F, Thursday, 2 August 2012 21:28 (eleven years ago) link
I liked his Naomi Campbell shirt the other night. (honestly)

he looks like an aphid

(btw when i talked to him he told me that he prefers the ADC version of "adorn")
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
That's because it's better.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:17 (eleven years ago) link
did he explain whether the third minute was added after the fact?
prefer the longer version now, either way
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link
like the extra min but not the silly prince opening in the vid. the more abrupt start helped the ~mystique~.
― bnw, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
the longer version was the original but he prefers the shorter version
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:35 (eleven years ago) link
i win my bet with rev then!
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:35 (eleven years ago) link
fine, dammit. and yeah, the long version is even better. that bridge feels so....solid, like you could reach out and hold it and he goes so far in on the last chorus
― REV LION (The Reverend), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link
love the modulation
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link
yes!
― REV LION (The Reverend), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 22:13 (eleven years ago) link
"adorn" broke into the hot 100 this week, should be in the r&b/hip-hop top 10 by next week

LOL at PIM.

yeah, seriously
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
i think the next preview is tracks 4-6
damn so I've already heard 6/11 tracks... and LOL @ "Pussy Is Mine" being on the album... still super excited tho.

glad "arch n point" made the cut! wish "gravity" would've replaced "candles"
― i'm a housewife, an artist, and a snow leopard (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:48 (eleven years ago) link
actually "gravity" could of just replaced "pussy is mine"... I mean unless he totally reworked it from this, it's a bit of a throwaway

― i'm a housewife, an artist, and a snow leopard (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:49 (eleven years ago) link
when's it out again?
― ticagrelor rotini (k3vin k.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 01:18 (eleven years ago) link
never heard "pussy is mine" before. there's definitely the workings of a dope song there, but sounds kinda demo-ish
― ticagrelor rotini (k3vin k.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 01:20 (eleven years ago) link
the version of "candles" that's on the album is the slower version that he's been playing live
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 02:47 (eleven years ago) link
i'm glad it's not just the EP version w/ the Lennon sample cut out, that weirdly makes that version of the song work for me
― some dude, Thursday, 16 August 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
p much loathe 'candles' and deplore the long, grody post-ocean shadow it casts over this album and the adorn/use me/arch in point axis
more glam, less dress-up hippy cruft
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 06:57 (eleven years ago) link
truthfully does anyone even actually wanna hear miggy attempt a song titled 'kaleidoscope dream' (let alone name the effing album after it) cos i'm just saying nuh uh
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:01 (eleven years ago) link
kinda feel that reusing ADC songs misses the point of ADC but oh well
"where's the fun in forever" might be more lol than "pussy is mine"
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:03 (eleven years ago) link
agree with this even tho the new version of "Adorn" is basically my favorite thing ever
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:07 (eleven years ago) link
i can see why they'd put arch n point on there tho
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:09 (eleven years ago) link
"arch & point" is the best ADC song yeah but if you want to reuse ADC tracks have the decency to put them as bonus tracks or something - if the next preview EP is tracks 4-6 that'll leave us with uhhh two new songs when the album drops
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:11 (eleven years ago) link
i'd have less of a problem with reusing the tracks if it seemed as if the album was gonna be like the finished expanded apotheosis of the adc ep sketches, but it doesnt and so feels more like a cheaper cherrypick
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:18 (eleven years ago) link
the title track btw is definitely arty but it sounded pretty cool -- prod by salaam
