MIGUEL KALEIDOSCOPE DREAM ALBUM SONGS FREE

He returned earlier this year with a free trio of EPs under the self-conscious title of Art Dealer Chic, showing a newfound entrepreneurial sensibility and a streak of independence. It sounded like he couldn't decide whether he wanted to be a Salaam Remi faux-nostalgia crooner or a smart hip-hop crossover star, and the indecision hung over the record like a cloud (it didn't perform well commercially either). Fully intimate and wholly surreal Kaleidoscope often feels invasive, and always underplays the simplicity of its nature, but this enhances MiguelвЂ™s quality as a soul singer, breaking down the notions of pop and restructuring them with ease and care making you feel like you belong where he is at any moment.Miguel's 2010 debut album, All I Want Is You, was flanked with some stellar singles but weighed down by a lack of identity as he flitted from producer to producer. His hand is all over Kaleidoscope, and that masterful construction gives way to a project that is undoubtedly all his own (Alicia Keys slips in for a minimal vocal backdrop that inherently bolsters the tracks creator on вЂњWhereвЂ™s the Fun In ForeverвЂќ). Alongside lavish synths and an uncanny ability make matinee movies sound sexy, is a confident singer emerging from an unspectacular debut and capitalizing tenfold. ItвЂ™s this love that leads the singer to his most personal, and at times, most compelling songs to date. Ok, love strewn through tons of sex, but still, love. ModestyвЂ™s key, but it lurks beneath a quaint addiction for love. While Beyonce struggles to find her place in pop, still, Miguel feels completely at home with his sophomore release. While the two share a similar expressiveness the buck stops there. Even more impressive is MiguelвЂ™s ability to twist a songsвЂ™ structure to fit his enigmatic nature this capability to flow congruently with the production is telling of his vocal IQ вЂ“ never drowned out by a completely immersive track like вЂњDo You.вЂќ, a lush track devoted to its ethereal atmosphere, yet strongly contrasting forceful (rock infused) cuts (вЂњTime of the SeasonвЂќ).ДЄn easy comparison for this modern grown-up love album could easily be BeyonceвЂ™s 4 and this is fairly accurate. MiguelвЂ™s commanding vocal presence cascades the song through elegant falsettos amidst its simple yet effective chorus which, combined with the reformed outro, signifies the corrective steps the artist has taken to up the ante within the pop realm вЂ“ Artists from complete left field (Ma$e?) have called up to steal some shine from this trackвЂ™s polish. Opener and leading single вЂњAdornвЂќ is indicative of the singers craft for creating a stellar track. With Kaleidoscope Dream, Miguel is able to find an itch that hasnвЂ™t been scratched since Marvin Gaye, and itвЂ™s with such a comparison that we see how Miguel comfortably operates. The biggest problem wasnвЂ™t necessarily the delivery so much as the packaging. A married man with such mature insight in the rambunctious routines of this new sultry R & B movement delivering material titled Art Dealer Chic felt so far removed at times that it caused a polarizing reaction. The still relatively new artist struck bronze with his 2010 debut All I Want Is You, muddled in itвЂ™s persona, yet bubbling with potential thanks to strong singles and a flair for that soul that is desperately missing from the charts this decade вЂ“ and beyond вЂ“ the crooner often found himself in limbo needing an identity, but with greater regard, a reason for simply existing.

It wouldnвЂ™t be too big of a stretch to consider Miguel blazing an independent trail, respectfully bright, against his contemporaries вЂ“ ala The Weeknd and Frank Ocean.
