Spotify Sessions London

Released in mid-2013, Spotify Sessions London serves as a bridge between the commercial peak of Kaleidoscope Dream and the more experimental leanings of his later work. Recorded at a time when Miguel was redefining the boundaries of R&B by incorporating indie-rock and psychedelic elements, this live EP highlights his proficiency as a live performer and his reliance on the electric guitar as a primary melodic tool. The tracklist features live renditions of his biggest hits, including 'Adorn' and 'Sure Thing,' but the inclusion of 'Candles in the Sun' provides a necessary weight, showcasing his ability to handle social commentary with the same soulful dexterity as his romantic ballads. Each track is preceded by a brief intro, offering a rare, conversational glimpse into his creative mindset. Critically, these sessions are often cited as proof of his vocal technicality, which remains unassisted by the heavy reverb and layering typical of his studio LPs.
