I’m 32 now – my days of not voting are not an option. It’s wanting to be conscious but not wanting to hear this negative s**t we’re hearing all day. "I don’t have the answers or intend on proposing that I do. "I wanted to convey a feeling of being right in the middle with everyone else," he explains. War & Leisur e, Miguel says, also has a political slant to it songs like the lead single Skywalker and the radiantly funky Caramelo Duro are about finding positivity in these turbulent times. Looking back at it though, I think people were more connected to the songs than the artist, so Kaleidoscope was all about getting fans to connect with me and understand that I’m an artist or a one-hit wonder." I think we did that and made some great songs. For my first album, I wanted to change what people expect from R&B music and I wanted to be way outside the box. “I’ve always had this, ‘I wanna do this’ kind of attitude. Now it’s just about wanting to make music that feels good to me. The star also admitted he felt "less confined" when making this album, which features collaborations with J Cole and Travis Scott, adding: "Now I feel like I can do whatever I want. "It’s was like, can you put that out of your mind and just create music you’re going to love in 50 or 60 years’ time?" "This is about, can I be creative in the ethos? It’s no longer just about talent, so much of it has to do with aggregating attention. “This time, my priorities, settling into myself – all whatever you want to call it – have changed," Miguel told. The star said he wanted to create a more upbeat and accessible album than 2015's critically acclaimed Wildheart, which won two Grammys, but still hoped it would be listened to "in 50 or 60 years' time". See where all of Miguel's singles and albums have charted in the UK. The R&B singer-songwriter released his new album War & Leisure earlier this month, which became his third Top 10 record in the US. Miguel has opened up about adapting to the ever-shifting musical landscape, claiming: "It’s no longer just about talent". ![]()
