Miguel Releases 'Told You So' Video, Announces Album Release Date
The 'Sky Walker' singer has finally announced the release date for 'War & Leisure'...
One day after unveiling the album artwork, Miguel has switched the War & Leisure era into full gear.
The 'shockandawe' singer released the new single, its music video and announced the album release date all overnight, so prepare for this Miguel takeover.
'Told You So' is a deliciously funky jam that finds Miguel at his best and the infectious groove sees him dancing around the desert in its accompanying visual.
Both the video and song have political undertones so can easily be interpreted as a reaction to the way American (or world) politics have panned out in the last 12 months.
"Every pleasure you taste has price / Don't wanna I told you so / But I told you so," he sings over computerised glitches and the funky bass guitar that just forces you to dance.
Although it sounds like some kind of freedom fantasy with Miguel promising a blissful ride in the verses, the chorus is basically a reality check, even if the dance-ready production is ignoring it.
"A little over a year ago, Karim Hu Doo and I created one of my favorite visuals for one of my favorite songs on War & Leisure called Told You So," he said of the video on Instagram.
'Told You So' is the second official single to be released from War & Leisure, his fourth album, which is officially dropping on December 1st.
Finally! A date! Miguel is giving us everything we wanted all year right before the end of it.

These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning
We talk street art and sarcasm
Crass humor and high fashion
Peach color, moon glistens, the plot thickens
As we laugh over shotguns and tongue kisses
Bubble bath, Truth or Dare, and Would You Rather
A cold flame, the thrill of no shame
Drugs, sex, and polaroids
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye all night
I wish I could paint our love
These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this
Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, baptism
Peach colored skies we feel the sunrise
Two lost angels discover salvation
Don't you wish we could run away now?
Yes, let's
Drugs, sex, and polaroids
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye all night
I wish I could paint our love
These moments and vibrant hues
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this
Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning
Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this
Coffee in the morning
I don't wanna wake you
I just wanna watch you sleep
It's the smell of your hair
And it's the way that we feel
I've never felt comfortable like this
Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, that's baptism
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
Old souls we found a new religion
Now I'm swimming in that sin, that's baptism
Two lost angels discover salvation
Under glass pink skies watching the sunlight
(Fucking in the morning)
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
(Fucking in the morning)
Pick a star in the sky
We could both say goodbye
(Fucking in the morning)
