♫ Miguel feat. J. Cole – All I Want Is You
Just when you thought that R&B music was getting boring amid an array of pop-dance tracks, Miguel brings something fresh but familiar on his much anticipated debut album, All I Want Is You, which hit stores Tuesday, November 30th.
You may think that Miguel is new to the scene, and with good reason. But at the tender age of 24, he’s already worked with some of the industries biggest heavyweights, including lending his pen to Mary J. Blige and Musiq Soulchild, as well as co-writing some of the dopest tracks on Usher’s last offering, Raymond vs. Raymond. Before signing to Jive back in 2007, the Los Angeles native of black and Mexican descent was already a well sought, hot commodity on MySpace, with a great catalog of material and a solid fanbase.
When setting out to create All I Want Is You, Miguel tapped a small, intimate team of producers, including The Fisticuffs, Salaam Remi, State of Emergency, Dre & Vidal and Happy Perez. The album sails through a myriad of organic sounds, where Miguel cites inspirations such as Prince, David Bowie, Phil Collins and Donny Hathaway, which is readily apparent with his vocals and sounds in the music.
Miguel knows where his talent lies, not resting on a bunch of features on the album – the only song with a guest spot is the album’s lead single and title track, “All I Want Is You,” which features RocNation signee J. Cole. The rest of the album just finds Miguel doing what he does best, offering raw, emotional vocals with lyrics that truly paint pictures and tell stories, like on the pulsating “Teach Me,” where you may find yourself reminiscing like it’s 1982 and you’re jamming out to Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.”
All I Want Is You is cool, refreshing, but full of timeless gems like, “Vixen,” a ballad where Miguel wails over a simple, echo-y horn section, cooing, “You could be my vixen, my bed will be your stage/We will take the spotlight, all night/Each and every time we play…” But he’ll also get the party jumping with uptempo cuts like the hard-hitting “Pay Me.”
Miguel’s first album is arguably one of the best R&B albums to drop in 2010, so it’s no wonder he’s been tapped to open for Usher and Trey Songz on Usher’s OMG Tour this year. The album is sure to offer a little something for everyone, and All I Want Is You is definitely going to become something like a cult classic. You’ll bump it all the way through, the same way you did Teedra Moses’ Complex Simplicity.
All I Want is You is in stores now! Make sure you check out more on Miguel on his official site, OFFICIALMIGUEL.COM, and follow him on Twitter: @migmoney.

I know the song but this dude is an asshole in real life and sounds as good as Rihanna and dude can’t dance. So the personality is AWFUL ATTITUDE+RIHANNA VOCALS+ CAN’T DANCE!
look him up on Youtube for Live Performance and You’ll see bits of what I am saying.
Don’t be fooled this one sux!
Miguel is humble and loves his fans. And he is an amazing vocalist. Quit trying to ruin his reputation. Bad karma for you.
UR CRAZY!!! Hatin azz needs to be checked!!!! Miguel is one of the most talented artist to come out in a very long time… RECOGNIZE!!!
The CD is nice, i listened to it on rhapsody. His voice is not the strongest but most of these R&B singers today only sing not sang
Why are women still faking it? Men don’t why do we?

Three words describe this dude…gay…gay…gay
people need to grow the fuck up . very artist who is different is not gay . damn can a mofo be individual anymore without the judgement of a fat ugly person who aint doin shits judgement . even if he was gay whatthe fuck it got to do with you you you . either buy the music or dont because you favorite rapper probably has dick breath right now from lastnights shananigans . this is great music appreciate it or shut the fuck up . why the negativity . done and done
Yall just posting about ths song? this shit is old already.
lol i feel u…old AF an im pretty tired of it
I’m sorry to be negative but this dude CAN NOT SING!
So many times we are quick to pick out a female that can’t sing but we let the male singers get by. I’m coming for you next Trey Songz and Jerimih
For those who say he can’t sing, what are you basing your opinion on? I’ve seen his live sets and he sounds good. Where are the links In$able, cuz you putting in work on this thread abt someone who you don’t care 4!
well his music is ok but damn he is cute, pro homo
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ALBUM. I LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY EVERYDAY. IT’S GOOD TO KNOW THAT I CAN LISTEN TO THE ALBUM WITHOUT SKIPPING A TRACK.
IM SOLD!!!!!
I’m not a fan of his music/vocals…
i’ll listen to it on youtube
The songs sounds nice, he seems to sounds pretty decent live.
I bought the album after I saw Miguel on the omg tour, it’s great, he can sing and
negativity needs to stop everywhere…more important things going on in the world ya think?!
THIS ALBUM is hot..anybody who says different..has not listened to this album..i dont know dude..i dont care what he does in his personal life..his album tho’ is on fire..its homegrown..not overproduced electro-techno-i hav no soul music…and what is up with black artists in america not makin soul music..i will never understand that trend..all of the white artists from LONDON got a lock on that i guess..anyway..good job MIGUEL..it shows he made an effort to make good music..
I only like Vixen from the entire album.
He has a lot of great songs and is very talented, he just has a bad attitude. I love “All I Want Is You.” It sounds like it’s a 90′s hiphop/soul song. He has a lot of great songs on youtube, hopefully he will get off his high horse cause he wont get far with his attitude.
All yall who come on here and just talk shit? for what?? he not gonna read it, you wasting your time, stop being a negative bitch & stop hating. thats why i hate reading comments, all yall do is talk about people. didnt your mom teach you if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say it all. they said comment the song, not his past performances or what type of person he is. stop fuckin hating, yall piss me off…this is a great song, better than all that lick me here, sex and every song that come out today..
Love the way Miguel sings, this album is pretty good. I love “Sure thing”.
One of the best albums this year.
Miguel is soo amazing. He is so versatile.
True R&B.
For those who think he can’t sing…listen to the whole album.
There are tracks where he uses his voice more than others. Girls Like You is a good one.
Team Miguel ALL DAY.
I agree with this review..I was pleasantly surprised..CD remind me of some mid 90′s ish when the radio was tolerable..I dig the CD no filler
I was lucky enough to be able to see Miguel in the OMG tour and he was great!! I hope he makes it BIG
This album is worth the money! Anybody looking to listen to a good r&b album Miguel and Jasmine Sullivan’s are must haves.
I finally got the album and I love it! Sure Thing, Teach Me, Girls like you, Vixen, Hard way, My Piece, Both interludes, All I want is you… The only one that I don’t love is Pay Me. Im sad I missed him on the OMG tour. But I love him already, others can have their opinion.
