Seven months to the date after the release of Wildheart, Miguel hosted a “Wildheart Motel” party in Los Angeles last night featuring various performances going on at the same time in different rooms. As Pitchfork points out, one of the performances occurred with Miguel covering “My Girl” by the Temptations as a duet with Rihanna, who also sang Mary J. Blige’s “Not Gon’ Cry.” You can watch the extended Periscope footage here.

Stream Disclosure’s new album Caracel
Disclosure released their highly-anticipated album, Caracel, today via PMR/Island Records. Spotify users can stream it in full here. It is also available through Apple Music.
The follow-up to Settle in 2013 marks the duo’s second full-length to date. Like its predecessor, the effort features songs written by Jimmy Napes and boasts a hefty amount of collaborators: Lorde, The Weeknd, Miguel, Kwabs, and Gregory Porter, and others. It also features the Lawrence brothers and Sam Smith reuniting after the breakout hit “Latch.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Disclosure talked about their approach for their second album. “There’s not any really club music on this one,” Guy said. “It’s all very club-influenced, because of the beats, but every song is like ‘Latch’ or ‘White Noise’ — a fully structured pop song.” Howard added, “The songwriting is the most important thing for us. I feel a lot of dance acts lack the cohesiveness that we can get.”
