Miguel’s been silky-R&B’s longtime master of smooth, from every dark, muggy Art Dealer Chic chapter to Kaleidoscope Dream, and in-between-album collaborations with Wale, Janelle Monae, and beyond. Angel-face aside, his whispery voice is, hands down, the slickest: a no-fail means of goosebumps-delivery over gritty, musing beats handpicked to sustain the Miguel melting effect.
Now the sixth addition release from his upcoming Wildheart EP, the R&B singer collaborates with vet R&B/rock-er Lenny Kravitz on “Face The Sun”: an electrifying, reverb-packed track belted with Miguel-level, unadulterated passion (“when it’s said and done, you’re the only one”) and a faraway, thrumming guitar riff—almost heartbeat-like.
Wildheart comes out June 29th; pre-order it on iTunes here.
