Art Dealer Chic, Miguel RCA, USA Rating: 82 by Andrew Casillas Its not every day that Club Fonograma gets to review a full-bodied R&B album. But when we do, we take our damn time. Of course, when the record is as good as the collection of three EPs released this spring by Mexican American loverboy Miguel, you could be forgiven to leave criticism at the door and lose yourself in its excellence. And these EPs truly are excellent at times. They arent [...]]]> text/html 2012-05-25T10:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4288241/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-1-3-eps-album-stream/


When the Weeknd and Frank Ocean were getting famous and reaping tons of critical love last year, a small but vocal cabal of R&B-friendly critics carped that the indie rock writers of the world, people who historically havent cared much about R&B, were getting sucked in by showy art-school affectations, and that there were plenty of people already working within the major-label system who were doing great work to far less acclaim. Pretty much all these writers mentioned Miguel, an L.A.-born singer and songwriter who scored a few minor hits in 2010, as an example of the sort of artist [...]]]> text/html 2012-05-11T07:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4258637/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-3/


The third volume in Miguel's free Art Dealer Chic series is the weakest so far. The third volume in Miguel's free Art Dealer Chic series is the weakest of the bunch. Volume 2, the high point of the set, was alternately sexy and self-critical, punishing and seductive, but the third entry doesn't have the same sense of flair or variation. "Ooh Ah" works the heavy guitars and lusty angle that were effective in earlier songs from the series like "Arch N Point". But here, it's all thuds and no pay...]]> text/html 2012-04-30T11:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4233865/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-3/
Nachdem die ersten beiden Teile von Miguel s EP-Serie beraus bunt gemischt ankamen, ist der dritte Teil von Art Dealer Chic nicht unbedingt der krnende, aber sicherlich der kohrenteste Abschluss. Das ltere Ooh Aah scheint glatt zur Deflektion von Imitator-Vorwrfen und zum Beweis eingestreut worden zu sein, dass er schon etwas lnger auf dieser Spur fhrt, so fgt es sich tatschlich mhelos unter seine beiden neuen Eigenproduktionen. Im narkotisiert treibenden Space-Funk von Party Life lsst Miguels narkotisierte Stimme seinen flligen Instrumentals mehr Entfaltungsraum, das John Lennon sampelnde Candles In The Sun, Blowin [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-30T03:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4233445/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-3/

Miguel shows a new side to his work on the second of two free EPs. Miguel has released two free EPs this year, Art Dealer Chic: Volumes 1 and 2, following his 2010 debut, All I Want Is You. All I Want Is You showed Miguel's versatility, if not his ability to write big hits. On "To the Moon", with its steady pulse and rising synths, and "Hero", with its faux '80s guitar and keyboards, Miguel effectively approximated the Dream's solo work. In contrast, the title track (in collaboration with...]]> text/html 2012-04-03T13:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4175211/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-2-ep/

Art Dealer Chic Vol . 2,the second in a three part series , found its way to the masses last week. The three track EP features eclectic genre bending songs which are distinguishable from Miguel's previous work.

Ein neues Monatsende, ein neues Dreierpack aus-dem-Fenster-Lehnerei von Miguel . Art Dealer Chic Vol. 2 , das es hier zum Download gibt, bertrifft fr mich sogar den ersten Teil noch, und das obwohl das dritte Stck nicht mehr als ein eingngiger Witz ist. Aber das ist so das Tolle an dieser Reihe, wie Miguel einfach seine kreativen Instinkte wild laufen lsst, egal ob sie ihn zur E-Gitarre oder ins Weltall fhren. Und sich dabei immer auf diese Stimme verlassen kann, die mit Gewissheit die richtigen Wege geht, auch wenn es dabei wie der erste unangestrengte [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-28T19:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4163106/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-2/

Rhythm is a talent that cannot be taught Miguel. Miguel releases the second of his three part series 'Art Dealer Chic Vol , 2 ' which will consist of nine new songs in total and a few of the selected tracks will be a part of his follow up full length project due later this year. One thing to admire about the west coast singer-songwriter is that he keeps it fresh and stays in his genre lane.

I don't know about you, but one of the only reasons I haven't ripped my radio completely out of my car is because of Miguel . Despite that fact that his soulful voice has become a tool of the mainstream, he remains one of my favorite R&B singers. To help get closer to his fans, the man thought it was time to drop off a free, three-song project called Art Dealer Chic Vol. 1 . Apparently three is a special number for Miguel, as he tries to justify it for nearly two minutes in the OKP TV video [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-28T05:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4092600/miguel-art-dealer-chic-vol-1/

I'll make this short and sweet: Miguel is beast. He just released a new ditty, "Adorn", off his new project, "Art Dealer Chic Vol. 13, and I am definitely left with a fluttering feeling of disappointment. You see, he's dropping his new project on February 27, and I so wish he'd drop it sooner.

Here's what I've gleaned from the New York Times and the New Yorker so far this week: Art sales are down. Lily Allen is a big celeb here, but not as big as she is across the pond. And everyone's texting Damien Hirst!
