On a Friday afternoon before leaving work, anticipating our strongest cold front in almost two years, I listened to “Told You So” and realized, Holy shit, I’ve never listed Miguel. No performer today conveys the joy of performing as palpably; he loves to sing and doesn’t project a scintilla of self-involvement either — not like duet partner Alicia Keys at any rate. I’m still taking in War & Leisure, but I had three songs that belonged.
In a way, I’m glad people who don’t own the Art Dealer Chic EPs that first made Miguel’s Pitchfork reputation must seek “…ALL.”
