Miguel: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Miguel turned up in the NPR Music offices early one morning, after playing a show late the night before. He appeared light and calm, and betrayed no hint that he was nervous about stripping his highly produced hits down to their bones. Accompanied by just his guitarist, Dru DeCaro, Miguel eschewed flash and went big on small gestures - ingratiating ad libs, only one full spin and voice control that kept the songs close to his chest but emotive enough to translate to the back of the room. He told us he wrote his Grammy-nominated song "Adorn" with no idea that it would take him to our tiny stage. But he was made for it. His style was compact and graceful, his manner self-aware and open.
After releasing two albums, the 27-year-old performed as if he'd spent years of his life pressing rewind and pause on the great entertainers of our time - James Brown, Prince, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Michael Jackson. After he ended his set, I wanted to ask who'd taught him the most, but the crush of admirers loomed and I got out of the way of the cellphone cameras. He's a genuine, modern-day star. --FRANNIE KELLEY
Set List
0:00 "Do You..."
4:28 "The Thrill"
9:17 "Adorn"

Wow he did Tiny desk when it wasn’t as popular 10yrs ago … Miguel needs to come back for sure
Yeah, I’m gonna need Miguel to come back and do Tiny Desk again because he’s had so many hits since !
Miguel stays in my top Playlist rotation....it's the vibe. And I can listen to "Do You" over and over and over again! Bring him back to Tiny Desk!!
Miguel, the fact that you were conscious of your audience yet still remained true to your art... The fact that you shared the stories of your songs with us all... The fact that you gave your all in this tiny desk performance... This is what it means to be a soul musician. The video builds up to the shot at 9:50. It's full of grace. Thanks Miguel.

Brother can sing
8+ years later and STILL HITS!!!
How come I'm just now seeing this. Whatever the case Miguel kills it always, vocally one of the best.
I saw him in concert last year and he put on a great show. The Thrill is one of my favorite songs off that album. Kaleidoscope Dream was a real good album.
Bring him back plz 🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿❤️
What's crazy is that he sounds even better now
This dude reminds me of my brother, R.I.P. Big Bro, Miguel is a awesome talent ,Just like my brother was ,God Bless Him ,Much Respect 👏👏👍👍🔥🔥💕💕 Too Them Both ,Miss You Big Bro

I love how he still has a good time while he performs and doesn't take it too seriously, he seems like such a cool guy.
Well, that was impressive to say the least. What a lovely voice!
Might be the most underrated singer of all time...this performance is flawless
saw this kid for new year's party in san francisco and let me tell you its the memory that keeps on giving!!! he is amazing talent that is not recognized as much as he should be for his vocal ability!! and yes he is a blexican!!!! stand up and be recognized my brother, son and love of the world !!!
That VOICE THO. He literally sings better while barely trying than good singers do on their best day. Still watching this in 2018. It’s still that good.
Omgosh he has an incredible presence.
I dare every R&B vocalist to make a very raw/naked sounding album... this showcases true talent... If you can impress with just the voice and the guitar to back it up... man.... this is what the world of music is missing.
It's 2023 and I am back to marvel at the guitarist! perfection!
