Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream *Album Review*

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/kaleidoscope-dream/id561709112

There is nothing better than coming home from a long day of waiting for buses, lugging around a heavy bag and having so much information poured into my ears my brain started to flood, than putting in my headphones and being mentally massaged by the sweet, smooth sound of the new addition to the R&B royal family: Mr Miguel.

The best thing about the album is that; it's s typically Miguel. Yes there is the dose of sweet R&B songs that will make you want to slow dance with the nearest human being ('Adorn' springs to mind), but Miguel also added his self described "eclec-tric" flavour on the majority of his tracks with a lot of electric guitar heavy tracks. Now don't worry, if you know Miguel, it's not urbany electronic music on the scale of artists such as Labrinth (although I love him too), but sweet and subtle.

You'll be glad to hear that every track is different. As a good album should be. It's not an album full of slow jams but a mixture. The only consistent thing is the brilliant vocals that Miguel never fails to deliver. With a voice that can tickle your heart, he hasn't let us down. 

If I had to some it up in one word, I couldn't. It's gentle; "let my love adorn you".. Yet fiercely seductive; "I'm going to do you like drugs tonight".
