]]> Girls Soundtrack Season 2 Miguel SimplethingsIt’s easy to take Miguel‘s relationship to hip-hop for granted. Sure, his first album was driven by the titular single, “All I Want Is You,” which featured J. Cole, and more than a few of his songs have been produced by hip-hop producers, plus he’s provided solid hooks for singles by Wale and J. Cole, but songs like “Simplethings” are a stark reminder that Miguel‘s talents are wholly independent of hip-hop. Powerfully crooning over murky, distorted guitars, Miguel declares his desire for simple, uncomplicated love. Though the content of the songs is exactly the same, “Simplethings” is a far cry from “All I Want Is You.” On the latter, Miguel takes an intensive approach, expressing his passion with maximum potency. In contrast, “Simplethings” is a slow-cooker; the passion is palpable, but only if you get close enough to feel its intensity. “All I Want is You” is a song for your crushes; “Simplethings” is a song for your soulmate. Listen below.

“Simplethings” will be featured on the soundtrack to the second season of Girls.
