Album Review

Though Colorful You is the debut production LP for Miguel Migs, dance fans who've ever heard a Naked Music production won't be very surprised by the sound. Drawing on nearly every R&B form of the late '70s and early '80s (disco, jazz-funk, quiet storm, even a little early-'80s synth pop), Migs' work certainly isn't groundbreaking, but it is frequently breathtaking — a result of his studio expertise and ability to trademark a sound that other artists and labels often emulate but can never touch. After an introduction, the first three tracks on Colorful You are exotic deep house jams with vocals by Naked Music regulars like Lisa Shaw as well as a newcomer, none other than Joel "Jo Jo" Hailey, half of R&B hitmakers K-Ci & JoJo. After a down-tempo break with "Waiting" and "Breakin It Down," Migs brings it back up for a few more sparkling productions. For better and for worse, Colorful You (and Naked Music productions in general) polish to a fine sheen the template for a path of dance music that's been followed from disco to house to acid jazz to chill-out, doing it much better than most but occasionally relying too much on superficial textures instead of musical depth.

Customer Reviews

Hard NOT to show bias...

That cheeky little chap Miguel Migs and his music are without doubt a combination of some of the finest retro-funk melodies around. (Is that a style?).His 'ear worm' melodies do not fail to impress and their skillfully crafted layers are laid down and produced with near perfection. Regress with these wonderful smooth tunes, transporting you back to an era of 1970's west coast America, with just the right mix of mellow and minimal vocals. Keep 'em coming Miguel...keep 'em coming.

Biography

Born: Santa Cruz, CA

Genre: Dance

Years Active: '90s, '00s

Though he didn't found the label, Miguel Migs' productions (under the Petalpusher and L'isha aliases as well as his own name) gained the most fame for Naked Music, the house label formed by producer Jay Denes (aka Naked Music NYC). The template for Naked Music — audible since its first release, Petalpusher's "Breaking It Down" — is smooth, polished, organic house music, much more chilled than mainstream house and surprisingly song- and musician-oriented for the norm in the dance world....
