Keeping the momentum going, shortly after releasing her latest single, Mariah Carey follows that up with the official visual to “Beautiful” featuring Miguel. Video is directed by Joseph Kahn and the track will set to appear on Mrs. Cannon’s upcoming album which she is currently working on.

Mrs. Cannon returns to the music scene and brings along her latest single “Beautiful” featuring the highly talented R&B phenom Miguel. Not only is Mariah releasing the single but she is also set to premiere the official video this Wednesday on American Idol, so be sure to tune in to catch it. Audio after the jump.

With much anticipation, Hot 97 let go of the official line-up to this years Summer Jam which will be at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey on June 2nd. This line-up has people debating and talking about who should be there and who shouldn’t, and in my opinion, the line-up could have been a lot better. Hopefully the show is just as good as the past ones have been.

After teasing fans with a few behind the scenes videos, Miguel finally releases the Clark Jackson directed visual for his latest hit record “How Many Drinks” featuring Kendrick Lamar. Look out for Miguel’s upcoming “Art Dealer Chic” EP set to be released later this summer.

One of the hottest R&B artist in the game right now, Miguel woke up early this morning to talk with The Breakfast Club trio about quite a few things. During the conversation, they discuss his role in the “Power Trip” video, his childhood household, his success, touring with Alicia Keys and a lot more.

NBC’s comedy staple Saturday Night Live has been lining up some great music acts to be featured on their show. This past Saturday Miguel took the featured spot on the show to perform “Adorn” and “How Many Drinks?”. Check out both performances after the jump…

After appearing on the cover of Vibe’s current issue, Miguel and Kendrick Lamar hook up once again for the official remix to one of my favorite tracks off of Miguel’s “Kaleidoscope Dream” project. Rumor has it that the video has already been shot and will be released soon, so stay tuned for that. Audio after the jump.

For Vibe‘s 2013 “Big Issue” cover, they grab one of the hottest R&B artist in the game, Miguel as well as the hottest MC in the game, Kendrick Lamar. In the issue, the two discuss numerous topics including opinions of their music, the new generation, being musical geniuses and much more. I’ve inserted an excerpt below but if you are interested in viewing the full conversation, head over to Vibe right now.

What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken artistically? One that went over surprisingly well and one that might’ve gone over people’s heads?

MIGUEL: Shit, well this whole album—overall it doesn’t sound like any other R&B album that’s been put out in the past decade. The only album I would say sounds as alternative would be A Beautiful World by Robin Thicke, and that was like 2003. Since then, I haven’t heard a commercial album sound as alternative as this one. Including those psychedelic influences for R&B was a huge risk. I honestly was nervous to put it out. I remember having a conversation with Mark, my A&R, like, “Man, I don’t know if they’re gonna get this shit. It may be bad.” And he was like, “I love the album.” And I love it, too; I’ll be proud of it when I’m 80, because I know what I was going through when I was writing, producing and creating it. It’s really cool to get attention from outlets that never really paid attention to me or my music before this album. On the opposite end, risks that I didn’t even know I was taking—I look back on photos [from All I Want Is You] and the way I was dressed is not something I’d do again. If anything, when you do take risks, you become either more confident because you’re going to be criticized and speculated, and those conversations are gonna cross you and you’re either sure of yourself and what you believe in or you’re torn down.

KENDRICK: I definitely agree. Making good kid, m.A.A.d city was a risk in itself. The idea of a concept record has been lost for a long time—will that translate to 16-year-old kids in high school rather than the super energetic joint on the radio? I definitely had that in the back of my mind when I was creating this album. But having that thought process gave me confidence in knowing that ain’t nothin’ new under the sun. By me doing this, it can be fresh and something new to the kids that are not used to a record that has skits intertwined within the songs and a whole album breakdown. Overall, what I talk about in my music is another huge risk. When you think of the West Coast, you immediately think of crazy-type street credibility. To come from that place but not glorify it is a challenge in itself.
