Simple things miguel instrumental12/27/2022 ![]() ![]() After listening to similar beats for 25 minutes, it’s a great change of pace. From this point there are beat changes from song to song, and each one feels different. The latter half of the album is a kaleidoscope of different styles taking turns expressing themselves, from jazz to reggae to more experimental. The second half of the CD shifted into what I like to call “Part Two: The Revenge of the Style.” Up to this point the album was funky house music. At this point in the album the song breaks down into a peaceful, glossy space. The funky guitars and synth lines, followed by great bass and warm pads, were amazing to dance to and so the party in the Party Dome - aka my dorm room - continued until track No. The start of the next track came on, but to my dismay the constant hand claps and shakers continued. The jazzy saxophone chilled my fears, but the same beat in the song repeated. Even more startling was the fact that the beats were so similar that I couldn’t tell the start of one song from the next. When I checked, I was almost startled that it was only track No. The beat is still hitting strong, but by this time the first three tracks have been close to 15 minutes.Īs I was grooving, I wasn’t sure exactly where I was on the album. The dreamy vocals, floating slowly over the industrial clockwork below it, add just the right amount of cool that is present not only in this track but prominent in most of the album.Ī phaser-laden synth leads to the next track “Breakdown,” which features Lisa Shaw. It welcomes you with an aggressive beat and dub-step-like synths woven into this groove-loaded song. Next, the album opens up with the track “Tonight,” which features Meshell Ndegeocello. The album starts off strong with an instrumental version of the track “Life.” The song has a great beat and smooth bass, which opens up the first part of the album. When I turned it down and looked at my fearful passengers, I knew this album was pretty darn good. Driving around like I was in “Need for Speed” in my Ford Focus hatchback, this album hit me like a shot of adrenaline. To truly experience this album, I suggest a car ride at night. Luckily, I eyed it on the ground the next Tuesday and finally listened to it. I actually set the CD down in a friend’s apartment and lost it for a good four days. In one hand I had an iced coffee, in the other the Miguel Migs CD. We then watched until the concert was over, then it was time to journey back home. A CD passed hands like a back-alley drug deal - smiles and side five’s around. ![]() I found my Aggie Radio correspondent and a trade went down. The place had a nice array of people quietly chitchatting as Nguyen poured it out to us. A few of us were sitting, listening to Amy Nguyen playing in the corner. I first got this album at the Quad Side Café. It’s an easy fix that doesn’t truly capture the real thing. Although it’s classifiable as dance music, labeling Migs is like hanging out with a cardboard cutout of Chewbacca. Stay tuned as more tracks will be released in the coming weeks and months.Party goers, this week I’m bringing you a review on Miguel Migs’ new album “Outside the Skyline.” Released late last month on Om Records, the album has now been featured on Aggie Radio. ![]() ► Stream, Buy and Download my music HERE: Free Download Music: Best of instrumental background music for videos, films, documentaries, cinematic scenes, video presentations, websites, social networks, corporate videos, business videos, advertising and marketing videos, Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, for commercial projects and more.
