MIGUEL FOLLOWED ME ON TWITTER

HAPPY #WILDHEARTWEDNESDAY

Miguel has been more and more active on social media lately.  Every Wednesday he has #WildheartWednesday, where he will interact with his fans and more recently, will follow some people if they answer a question about him correctly, using the hashtag #WildheartWednesday

I didn't do this, but I tweeted to him instead, and he followed me from that tweet.  I wasn't expecting it at all to happen.  Miguel has met me irl and when he saw me, he grabbed my arm to look at my Deerdana temporary tattoo of him that I had made.  He knows. 

"Work" by Rihanna

Rihanna's video for "Work" has been released

the video looks like it takes place in some wannabe Jamaican dance club and Rihanna is getting out of the car in a pink fur and Drake is also getting out of his car and they both walk into the dance club

Rihanna takes off her pink fur and she's wearing some Rastafarian-colored fishnet onesie dress thing and starts dancing to her own song

idk what Director X had in mind for this video because it's just shots of various people twerking and at one point it looks like Rihanna is taking a shit

this is where I stop and say what the fuck is she saying

I cannot understand a word coming out of Rihanna's mouth aside from "work"

I know this is probably her goal but c'mon Rihanna you're not supposed to slur your words because this isn't the first song of hers that I haven't been able to understand

Rihanna has continued music after having a stroke

Rihanna wants to revive Sean Paul's career on the Top 40 charts by singing just like him

Anyway, everybody in the dance club is sweating and it's so gross and then suddenly Rihanna's verse gets kinda "serious" but I still can't understand what she's saying and then the hook plays again and this time it doesn't even sound like she's saying "work" completely just "waw" like a child

then Drake comes in and fixes the song

Drake comes into the shot in the video wearing an OVO varsity warm up sweatsuit to rep his brand of course and he looks kinda hot in it I'm not gonna lie BUT

I can't really pay attention to Drake's verse but I do know he says "if you had a twin I'd still choose you" in his sweet angelic voice and when I hear that line that's when I know the song is almost over

Rihanna what are you doing

Miguel releases Rogue Waves EP

Today, Miguel released his Rogue Waves EP, featuring 5 remixes of Waves, with a different artist on each track.  Tame Impala, Joshua Tree, RAC, Kacey Musgraves, and Travis Scott are all featured on the EP.  Coincidentally, Miguel released this 4 years (almost) to the day Adorn was released. (February 27th 2012)

I immediately woke up at 3AM and went on iTunes and bought the album.

Each track has a different feel to it, and I can't pick just one as my favorite.

Kacey Musgraves, a country artist, really turned this song around to make it something you would never expect it to become.  I wouldn't even consider this a remix, but more of a duet remake.  This one has such a soft and relaxing feel, an acoustic version.

The RAC version, the longest track on the EP, has a mono feel, with a completely different take on the background.  This one is never going to feel stale come 10 years.  Similar to JUSTICE, but way better.  Like, 100% better.

the Joshua Tree remix brings Miguel's vocals out to the front of the song.  Another acoustic version, yet completely different than Kacey Musgraves' version.  The soft feel of this track makes you focus all on the vocals.

the Travis Scott version has been out for about a month now.  The song was heavily promoted during Miguel's Wildheart Motel installation, with footage from those two nights being used in this song's music video.

Tame Impala, an Australian rock band, remixed Waves and created a refreshing version of it that relaxes you so much, you don't even realise it's a remix.  This may be my favorite one.

I honestly cannot stand remixes because I always feel that they ruin the original song, but these 5 tracks put that feeling to rest.  Each version has its own personality and greatly differs from another.

Miguel knows exactly what he's doing by promoting Waves and giving the song the second wind it doesn't need.  Miguel has so many tricks up his (tattooed) sleeve in 2016 and this is just the beginning.  Can't wait.
