Kaleidoscope Dream album Product Description
Kaleidoscope Dream album by Miguel was released Sep 25, 2012 on the RCA label. Elements of Miguel's second album started to reach the public around the time "Lotus Flower Bomb," the singer's collaboration with Wale, began to overstay its welcome on mainstream urban radio. Kaleidoscope Dream CD music From late February 2012 through that April, Miguel released a trio of free three-song EPs dubbed Art Dealer Chic. Kaleidoscope Dream music CDs Altogether, the material was funkier and weirder than that of All I Want Is You. Kaleidoscope Dream songs The high points eclipsed that album's singles, and some out-there moments confirmed that the freaky and daring qualities of "Teach Me" were not simply dabblings. Kaleidoscope Dream includes some of the ADC songs in varying form, as well as the six songs from the July and September album-preview EPs. The small quantity of new material makes Kaleidoscope Dream anticlimactic for some. Kaleidoscope Dream album For them, the trade-off is that they heard the majority of 2012's most pleasurable pop-R&B album digital Advent calendar style. It leads with "Adorn," the singer's second solo number one R&B/Hip-Hop single; there's some atmospheric, mechanical/organic likeness to Marvin Gaye's 1982 ballad "Sexual Healing," but it trades lust for soul-bearing affection and carries some of the era's sweetest backgrounds and a knockout falsetto howl over probing but unobtrusive bass. That song and most of the others stay true to the album's title and maintain an illusory atmosphere. This sense is intensified by some unexpected touches, like an interlude where Miguel softly croons part of the Zombies' "Time of the Season" over synthesizer goo, and the hovering title track, which incorporates the bassline from Labi Siffre's "I Got The" (in a manner heavier than Eminem's "My Name Is") and some "Strawberry Letter 23"-like guitar swirls. There are instances where the lyrical content edges too close to "artsy" teenage erotic poetry, but no song is without an attractive quality, whether it's a heavenly melody, a riveting rhythm, or a boggling production nuance. The set is cunningly sequenced, too. The loose "Where's the Fun in Forever" -- atmospheric yet mostly drums and bass, with some cool and casual background vocals from Alicia Keys -- melts into ADC highlight "Arch & Point," which is something like a skeletal power pop number slowed to a seductively squalid prowl. ...See Full Description

| A Masterpiece!!!!! Kaleidoscope Dream music CDs This album deserves 10 stars in my opinion. After listening to all tracks have decided that its fabulous. I absolutely love all the tracks! The rhythmic lyrics are profound and sensual with a hint of humor which brings out his playful side of his personality. This side of him also shows his passion for harmonizing, sampling with various beats and being open to all kinds of conceptual ideas. In all this album is a masterpiece just like Odyssey and Oracle by Zombies. By chalyras (Brooklyn NY) This review is for a different format. |

| Miguel CD2 I don't know what I was expecting but i was expecting a little more than this. I liked almost all the songs on his last cd. I only like two or three on this one. He is still a great artist to me though. By jacksonkara (Ladson, SC)  This review is for a different format. |
