The singer-songwriter, born Miguel Jontel Pimentel, released
the album on Monday, following up on his 2012 critically
acclaimed and Grammy nominated "Kaleidoscope Dream".
That album featured hit single "Adorn", which won a Grammy Award
for "Best R&B Song".
"This album is rooted in Los Angeles because LA is the perfect
physical representation of the dynamic in any journey of a 'Wildheart',"
he told Reuters in a recent interview in London. "Los Angeles is
just riddled with hope and desperation."
The album's first single is "Coffee", a song Miguel said was
"sonically reminiscent" of "Kaleidoscope Dream".
"This album is aggression, this album is Los Angeles, it's sex,
it's psychedelia, it's lust, it's loneliness, it's attitude,
it's vice, it's love. It's my life," he said.
"It's the way I see the world and it's the perfect snapshot of
where I am as a man, as a human being."
Miguel's debut album "All I want is You" was released in 2010.
