Miguel Jontel is a popular but unusual music artist in our society today. Very rarely do you see him making public headlines for controversy, all of his headlines are mostly for his engagement with his fiance Nazanin Mandi , his awarding winning music, or is recent tabloid of reaching over a billions streams world-wide. Every year he drops chart popping singles or albums but he is never been regarded as “catch you eye instantaneous” artist. His work built over time from his first commercial success ‘All I Want With you’ with hit single ‘All I Want Is You’ to his latest release ‘War & Leisure’ which is one of his most successful project to date, you see not only a progression in versatility but also sales.

With recent names being thrown into the ring for the new face of R&B such as Ella Mai, Daniel Ceaser, Tory Lanez, Jacquees, 6lack, Frank Ocean, and so on, you can not forget the person who start the new waves of R&B talent who was Miguel himself.  His ability to single traditional R&B style in singles such as ‘Don’t look back,’ ‘Adorn,’ and ‘How Many Drinks’ to a more modern feel in singles such as ‘Sky walker’ ft Travis Scott or ‘NWA’ ft Kurupt, the man is a walking resume of music excellence. He should get more shine and you can even argue him as being an all time great in music overall. To best describe his sound it would have to be a mixture of Prince, classical salsa drums, Marvin Gaye, El DeBarge, Maxwell, and a little bit of rock star flair to go along with his unique voice.

To keep it quite simple and short, Miguel is an underrated R&B, and in my opinion he is the current face of new R&B. His ability to cater to the older generation of music lovers who appreciated legends such as Luther Vandross, Boyz 2 Men, Sade, or Marvin Gaye to the current generation of music lovers who enjoy talented singers who added their own flair to R&B such as frank Ocean, SZA, Bryson Tiller, or Solange. He is an example of how music artists should think long term success instead of quick over night fame. Now where does he rank all time? That’s another debate for another day but below I will drop my favorite tracks from him and some  throwback videos.
