In an era where vocals have become seemingly less and less emphasized in R&B, Miguel came with an amazing body of work last year that showed real singers can still thrive. It's really no wack songs on the album. Adorn crushed the charts and Miguel inspired some singers to return to their original R&B roots. While a lot of R&B seems to be overly hip hop influenced and formulaic nowadays, Miguel showed out from an artistic standpoint displaying great lyrics over refreshing production with a lil raunchiness splashed in there (? is Mine).

What's your favorite songs on this album? Do you think he will be able to follow it up proper?
