Music reviews of Colorful You

Music Review: The color is not too vibrant
Rating: 3 Stars

To say that the debut solo album from Miguel 'Petalpusher' Migs has been highly anticipated would be a major understatement as the hype has been building since early Spring and expectations float among the clouds. Migs' remixing credentials: solid. Big ups and deep head-bobs for his work on the Nude Dimensions series. People demand a lot from Miguel. While Naked Music co-founder Jay Denes' 'Beautiful Tomorrow' got the critic's nod earlier this year, would this album do the same? I'm not convinced.

Miguel knows his way around the studio as the production and arrangement are tight. But there is no definable peak and its consistent mid-tempo, soul groove will appeal mostly to the ladies. Deep heads out there will be disappointed. 'Days of Color' is the most qualified remixing candidate for the dance hall. 'Don't let me Down' and 'Waiting' was very R&B and pop-like. A stripped down version of 'Breakin It Down' is refreshing and almost as super soulful as 'The One'. Miguel's strength is clearly not in the lyrics with extra syrupy vocals such as 'before you break my heart, think it over.' Uh ' what? Next thing you know, will Migs be hanging out with Carson Daly on Total Request Live? No thanks. Not for me. I hate to knock Migs, but I think we were all expecting just a little more. After all, Miguel helped Naked Music set one of the standards when it comes to deep house flavors. The complete lyrics are included in the liner notes. Total time: 74 minutes. While I was hoping for some deep thumps and serious head-bobbing grooves, instead it was too sugary sweet for my taste buds.

POSTSCRIPT: Upon my initial purchase, I listened to it non-stop for over a week to make sure I hadn't missed something. Was I just 'not getting it'? Instead, this album has been collecting lots of dust and hasn't seen my turntable since then. Over one month after I bought it, my opinion still hasn't changed. Grade: Not too vibrant.

Description of Colorful You

After many acclaimed 12'' releases and remixes under his Petalpusher alias, a mix CD that continues to fly off the shelves from coast to coast, Miguel Migs unleashes Colorful You, an album of great songs, seductive beats and memorable vocal performances from label-mate Lisa Shaw. Naked Music. 2002.
Colorful You is alive with the confidence Miguel Migs has in his vibrant, emotional style, a chunky mix of sun-soaked melodies, Latin-flavored samples, and luxurious grooves. His model-quality good looks and the soulful, love-machine beats of records like Nude Tempo 1 have already distinguished Migs from the avalanche of similar, downtempo-minded DJs. Despite having less of a rhythmic thrust and a greater emphasis on traditional song structure than his previous work, Colorful You should continue Migs's ascendancy to the coveted realm of such chill music superstars as Thievery Corporation and Everything but the Girl. Not that the record doesn't move; tracks like "Think It Over" and "Days of Color" (both with frequent Migs collaborator vocalist Lisa Shaw) are the sort of juiced-up head-nodders that get a scantily clad crowd good and steamy. Still, it's the balladry of "One Wish for Me" and "Breakin' It Down" that show off Migs's assured touch with vinyl as well as his talent for picking out great hooks. --Matthew Cooke
