Set: "Tiny Desk Concert" series (Miguel)


Miguel recently hit up NPR Music offices for the company's "Tiny Desk Concert" series and the Grammy-nominated crooner performed a three song set filled with joints from his latest release including his current single "Do You...," "The Thrill," and his Grammy-nominated song "Adorn." Peep what NPR had to say about it below in addition to his three song set!
Miguel turned up in the NPR Music offices early one morning, after playing a show late the night before. He appeared light and calm, and betrayed no hint that he was nervous about stripping his highly produced hits down to their bones. Accompanied by just his guitarist, Dru DeCaro, Miguel eschewed flash and went big on small gestures — ingratiating ad libs, only one full spin and voice control that kept the songs close to his chest but emotive enough to translate to the back of the room. He told us he wrote his Grammy-nominated song "Adorn" with no idea that it would take him to our tiny stage. But he was made for it. His style was compact and graceful, his manner self-aware and open.
