Not unless you’re playing this song every day.Send 'Miguel Adorn' Ringtone to your Phone.(Ad) MIGUEL - ADORN 01 - ADORN ADORN#MIGUEL#KALEIDOSCOPE DREAM# MIGUEL MATEOS - POR,1. But he follows through with, “And these eyes can’t wait to see your grin/Ooh, baby, just let my love, just let my love adorn you/Please Baby/You gotta know/You gotta know/You know that I adore you.” It’s not every day you hear a song that manages to be this sexy and romantic at the same time. “These lips can’t wait to taste your skin, baby” is his first line. Working a Marvin Gaye “Sexual Healing” vibe with sexy, speaker-throbbing bass, he tosses in some Michael Jackson yelps and a vocal that puts the focus on the steamy side of romance without getting dirty. That’s why it topped the R&B charts and went on to win best R&B song this year at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards. The production is closer to rock than the steamy R&B vibe of “Adorn,” but the end result is practically as sexy. Or at least not coaching them in ballet moves. “Arch & Point”įor people like Clarkson, whose first taste of Miguel was “Adorn” (also known as “the sexiest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen”), “Arch & Point,” from “Kaleidoscope Dream,” has a chorus built around Miguel suggesting, “Baby, arch your back and point your toes.” And yes, there is a ballerina reference in the second verse, but rest assured: He is not coaching ballerinas. This was on “Mischief,” a mixtape released in 2008. And this is flawless, from those sexed-up sighs that set the tone to every aspect of the psychedelic-soul-by-way-of-Minneapolis production. “Strawberry Amazing”Īs long as you’re making a record that sounds much like the sort of thing Prince would have written around the time he did “Around the World in a Day,” you may as well give it a name as close to “Raspberry Beret” as “Strawberry Amazing.” Also, if you plan to sound this much like Prince, it pays to do it right. It’s a full-on celebration of the premise that tomorrow isn’t promised so let’s seize the day and make it groove. You’re barely 20 seconds in before Miguel’s falsetto on the line “No end in sight” should leave you wondering why they didn’t choose this as the album’s second single over “Do You.” Then the chorus hits like Sly Stone in his psychedelic prime, rocking Beatlesque harmonies that soon give way to something closer to a gospel choir. Cole’s best line? “Hey, come back, baby/Boomarang.”Īnother album track from “Kaleidoscope Dream,” it starts with fat, distorted bass and a classic hip-hop beat. “But now, deep down, when I face it, all I want is you.” J. “At best, all they do is distract me,” he sighs. Produced by Remi, it rides a quirky yet insistent funk groove, underscoring an aching lead vocal mired in regret, finding no salvation in his latest conquests.
Cole on a guest rap that establishes the mood with “Damn cold world/I never thought I see that day that you’re my old girl.” The title track to his debut, it took Miguel to No. This was the single that launched his career, with J. The second track on “Kaleidoscope Dream” is epic, taking takes the sound to the opposite end of the musical spectrum from the leadoff track, “Adorn.” It sounds like something written for a post-apocalyptic science-fiction film, setting the scene with the chorus hook: “If I don’t make it back before the sun/All you have to do is run/Just promise me you run/Don’t look back.” And then, out of nowhere, it signs off with a speaker-rumbling, quasi-dubstep reinvention of the Zombies’ hit “Time of the Season.” Bringing Zombies to the post-apocalyptic soundscape? That’s one subtle stroke of genius. MORE MUSIC: Get the Things to Do app | Latest concert announcements | Top concerts this week in Phoenix 6.
“Wanna give you control/With the lights on/If I could just let go/Forgive me/It’s the very first time/And I’m nervous/Can I trust you?” The echo is cavernous on this atmospheric highlight of “Kaleidoscope Dream” as he wanders what sounds like a slow-motion dream state pleading with his girl to “take me” after telling her “my body’s waving a white flag.” Then the chorus kicks in, and Miguel plays the sensitive card with seductive intent. But he has the range to pull it off, so why not shake things up a bit? 7. Either way, it’s definitely closer to the pop side of the ’80s than the R&B side.
Or maybe it’s the way he keeps repeating “in the air tonight” that made me think of Collins. This “Kaleidoscope Dream” track works the drama like Phil Collins playing to the back rows in his ’80s prime.
