Review
Miguel's debut album, "All I Want Is You," finally dropped on November 30, 2010, after being held back for a couple of years due to legal drama. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? This album is a fire mix of R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop that sneaked its way up the charts, peaking at number 37 on the Billboard 200 and hitting 404,000 sales by 2012.
The production team was stacked, featuring heavyweights like Dre & Vidal, Fisticuffs, Happy Perez, State of Emergency, and Salaam Remi. The album swings you from funky, electro vibes to soulful ballads, letting Miguel's vocal talents and songwriting skills shine through. He dives deep into themes of romance, desire, and straight-up intimacy, making it relatable and real.
Tracks like "Sure Thing" and the title track "All I Want Is You" with J. Cole are straight bangers, perfect for those radio waves. Meanwhile, "Teach Me" and "To The Moon" let Miguel flex his experimental muscles, throwing some rock and funk into the mix. Critics couldn't help but draw comparisons to Prince, praising Miguel's vocals and pen game. Despite a few hiccups in the album’s flow, "All I Want Is You" proves that Miguel ain’t just your everyday artist—he's got something special cooking. This album set the stage for what’s sure to be an epic career in R&B. - Jace
