Miguel - Dont Look Back

I’ve been a fan of Miguel since his song “All I Want Is You” and I also really like “Adorn” so I decided to take a listen to his latest album Kaleidoscope Dream... While listening to it, the main song that stuck out to me and really caught my attention was “Don’t Look Back”. The song is very commanding right from the beginning with powerful percussions and distorted keys, and the overall vibe of the track is very new age R&B, but it’s done well. Miguel really shows his vocal range and ability with this track. From falsetto to chest voice you really get a good indication of all he’s capable of. And to top it all off there’s a sick breakdown near the end of the song (at about 3:30) where the track does a complete 180 from pretty and melodic to gritty and dark… In conclusion, I think Miguel is definitely ushering in a new sound and feel to R&B and I’ve gotta hand it to him, he’s doing a pretty good job so far. But check out the song for yourself and let me know what you think.
