In performance though, Miguel does something he can do that regular people can't. The scene doesn't look different from any high-end club I've ever been in. In the official video, Miguel's having a blast, hanging, sticking his tongue out for photos. I'd rather watch someone at work than at play.

Comparing these two videos for 'The Thrill' makes it clear that, in paring things down, the Yours Truly team has exposed the real appeal of Miguel and what makes him distinctive, even in this year of R&B originals. It was produced by Yours Truly, a group that makes videos of musicians performing, often in a more relaxed or homey setting than the official videos made for promotion. The live in-studio performance, on the other hand, distills the best parts of him as a singer and a performer into a single video.

For me, it took some of the magic out of the song. From the activities on display, it's clear that the lyrics 'Jamey, Johnny and Jack' refer to liquor, not crew. Miguel does no singing (or even lip syncing), but he wears a hat that says 'Trouble' on it. There are many images of women in bikinis. This isn't the first video for 'The Thrill.' Last month, Miguel put out a black-and-white number made up entirely of pool party and club shots. well enough to earn him those critical mentions in the same breath as Prince and Sam Cooke that he's been courting for the past couple of years). They walk a high-wire between the way forward and the past, and they delivered the way R&B fans were hoping they would (a.k.a. This song and the others on his recent album, Kaleidoscope Dream, are magnetic, full of personality and vitality. That happens in this brand new video for the song 'The Thrill,' by the R&B singer Miguel. Never taste, never waste.Sometimes a single performance shows you everything you need to know about a musician.Shoot em up, shoot em down, sh, sh shoot up.It's the thrill I feel my heart beat race.Yeah, I can feel them right in the air, tonight.Cause the moments gone a blinking of time.

I just wanna feel the wind blow, in my face,.
