Wildheart by Miguel

Pleasantly surprised by this so far. Not blown away, but it's certainly much better than I'd hoped. Honestly, I thought Kaleidoscope Dream was one of the most overrated albums of recent years, and I still don't think there's anything particularly special about his voice, but this already feels both funkier and poppier than his last. Pretty cohesive for something that's so brazen in its genre-hopping, too. I still don't feel he's as distinctive or as relatable as Frank Ocean (the nearest point of comparison), but he's improving for sure.

Also, apropos of nothing, this album cover was way better when Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire did it a couple of years back.

Pearson Sound by Pearson Sound

It's so-so. Feels a bit hollow.

10/10 album art though.

Yeah, this is probably my biggest disappointment of the year. For an artist who so regularly put out fantastic singles and EPs that were always interesting and forward-thinking whilst somehow feeling very human and instinctual too, his first full-length just feels uninspired and kind of boring - too many repetitive beats that don't move forward quickly enough, sketches that are extended to exhausting lengths without ever really developing into anything that feels complete. Such a shame, really. Not necessarily a bad album, but just a very unsatisfying one from somebody who has proven that he's capable of so much more.

On a more positive note, I was mightily impressed with that new Miguel LP. A massive step forward for him, finally carving out his own lane with some excellent sensual soft-rock/R'n'B balladry. There's a massive Prince influence there, obviously, but not an overly distracting one. The strength of his songwriting has improved immeasurably too, even if he's still prone to the odd cliched clunker. But yeah, some touching shit right there. Didn't expect Miguel to step his game up so much. Definitely won me over by the end, although I can see it being one of those albums that I'll have to be in a very specific mood to fully appreciate.

Anyway, gonna settle down for an early night with some twinkling ambient sci-fi synth...

Good shit.
