Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "WILDHEART is an even bolder move: an intoxicating master class in electro-porn R&B -- the coin of the modern genre -- that's also a soul-searching critique of same. It's a necessary record that should generate plenty of thought...", "Even the bluntest moments on the album are still softened by the warmth of the its production and the irrepressible sensuality of the singer’s multi-tracked weapon of mass seduction.", "Using meticulously-constructed post-Prince funk, WILDHEART captures how Los Angeles feels: beautiful and dangerous.", "On 'Flesh,' interweaving vocal lines create a nimbus of intimacy reminiscent of the seductive clouds-as-nude-bodies on the album cover, building along the classic Prince pattern to a gospel-inflected erotic climax.", "A deeply visceral production that’s infused with rap-rock vibes and nuanced electronic twists, from a singular figure who lays it all out on the table.", "The album soars with shiny guitar lines and sky-high vocals, which reflect the mythic possibilities of California and his hometown of L.A.", "It’s often brilliant, with moments of melodic flair like ‘Coffee’ rubbing up against the unsettling Prince-in-hell nightmare ‘Flesh’. WILDHEART impresses nonetheless.", "Miguel's sonic palette this time round is refreshingly idiosyncratic....Miguel succeeds in breaking convention whilst simultaneously aggregating his influences and experiences, assimilating them into something a little more transparent."
