By now, you may have realised the Miguel doesn’t follow the typical industry norms and that point will be further stressed later this year when he releases his new album on October 2nd. How the singer-songwriter continue to distinguish himself from his peers? He will issue the record as a trilogy.
Miguel kept his fans interesting in his music with his ‘Art Dealer Chic’ mixtape series. Now, the eclectic artist has announced the release date of his upcoming new album, which will arrive in stores on his birthday.
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards ceremony is currently underway and the stars are out in full force! Hosted at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las vegas, several of the biggest names in Pop music have already landed on the red carpet.
All good things come to an end, including Miguel’s ‘Art Dealer Chic’ series. The singer has released the third and final installment of the set, which includes the songs ‘Party Life’, ‘Ooh Ahh!’ and ‘Candles in the Sun, Blowin in the Wind’.
Despite only including three songs, Miguel still crafted videos to support his ‘Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 2′ mixtape. However, unlike his ‘Arch & Point’ visual, ‘…All‘ was crafted with a much smaller budget and imagination.
Miguel has never hidden his admiration of Prince but it seems his love for the icon borders on obsession. Indeed, in the video for his new song, ‘Arch & Point’, Miguel looks as though he just exited the set of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’.
If you downloaded the first edition of Miguel’s ‘Art Dealer Chic’ EP series then must be excited to nab the latest installment. Including 3 songs – ‘Arch & Point’, ‘…All’ and ‘Broads’ – ‘Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 2′ was crafted by producers Fisticuffs and Troy NoKA.
Don’t call Miguel’s ‘Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1′ a mixtape because he has proclaimed that this 3-song set is an EP. Indeed, including the single ‘Adorn’ as well as ‘That I Do (FTRMX)’ and ‘Gravity’, the record is a mini-release in every sense of the term.
Miguel has been busy recording his new album in London but before her finalises the record, he will issue a series of EPs. The first release of the bunch is ‘Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1′, which will be issued on February 27th with the inclusion of a new song called ‘Adorn’.
VEVO and Grey Goose joined forces to orchestrate a special ‘Rising Icons’ documentary to showcase the many talents of Miguel. Describing his musical journey and the creative processes that are usually involved in his art, the singer/songwriter proved exactly how important music is to him when he almost erupted into tears on the set.
