He’s gonna hit the people’s elbow

He released the remixes with Kacey Musgraves and then Tame Impala. It wasn't meant to be a hit.

In every way better than Frank

Cole and Miquel should've dropped a collab album on us, they sound great together.

But all jokes aside as a prince fan, I appreciate miguel.

You a diva babe, a living legend, down to earth like Issa Rae, even though you're from Heaven, we be laughin' all day! We drinkin', we f***in', and got good tree on the way!

It should’ve been really, the OG version just had hit written all over it. I even said that before the remixes came out.

Miguel also said that he wanted it to be the lead single but RCA had other plans.

Label fumbled.

I didn't enjoy blonde at all but that is subjective. But if you don't think Frank has a gimmick you gotta open your eyes my man.

In my personal experience I've found that lots of people like Frank because it makes them feel like they're part of something exclusive. The overpriced and limited merch/livestream releases/rare drops despite the fact that it's obvious he's sitting on many songs.

He's also gay so he's got the LGBTQ community wrapped around his finger but obviously that's just part of who he is.

Miguel should be on Motown with BJ. Yes or no?

Please don’t get me started on RCA

So they plan was to release Coffee with Miguel only version and the other with Wale, way to go RCA

As a Nigerian woman, hearing Wale talk about s***turns me off.

Adorn is god tier

I get what you’re saying about his fan base but I don’t think that necessarily equates to having a gimmick. His gimmick is almost that he doesn’t have one. He’s not in the media like that, he just drops when he drops and people wait on it and hype it up

Yup. Could have been a fruitful partnership.

Sure if he gets more artistic freedom, but I also know that it's important to him to make hits.

Yeah his lane is that poetic stuff not raunchy

Need Olubowale to feed my mind and soul but leave my body alone.

not one of my favourite artists or anything but I love this song

We really need a new album from the goat.. we're starving over here

Wait.... did the leg drop actually hurt his career? I thought everyone just thought it was funny and stupid and moved on?

This is the song I most associate with post-clubbing, where the sun is coming up but I'm coming down.

It's an airless cocoon of lust and lush guitars. Really beautiful. Great album.

Miguel's nice as hell

Big Sean actually explained what may have "hurt" his career: on Hot Ones Big Sean says there are 2 types of artists - ones that can leave for years, drop and album and be welcomed back (he cites Kendrick and Ye); or ones that can leave for years, drop an album and lose a little bit/or a lot of momentum. You will only know which you are after you leave and return. You'll be missed, sure, but what will the reception be?

It took him 2 years post-leg drop incident to drop an album. A calculated machine could have told you, controversy = attention = sales. But he didn't care. He didn't have music he was happy to put out.

I don't know which one Miguel is in the beginning a***ogy but he releases music on his own time and to his own vision and I can't hate against that. The music has always been good.
