MIGUEL RETURNS WITH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'FUNERAL', RELEASED ALMOST A YEAR AGO

 Miguel has dropped today the music video for 'Funeral', a song that was released on last year's November first - yes you  heard it right.  The song did not have so much success and it was, supposedly, the lead single for an EP, set to be released last winter.

The track is dark. Miguel is  not afraid of connecting religion and death  references with desire. You can feel a bit of rawness ('blood on the carpet'). Maybe it is the darkness what has not helped to pop the song.

Miguel had previously talked or added religious references in the past, as in Wildheart (whose review you can read by clicking on 'album reviews'), like in'Coffee' ('two lost angels discover salvation'). 

Despite the song can sound different from Miguel's previous work, we still have vibrant vocals in the pre-chorus. 'I lost my mind' - Miguel sings and that madness is patent on the video too, shot in black and white, it does not need more effects to surprise. It contains stunning images that focus on the main points of the song :religion, sex and madness.  

 I miss the more melodic, unworried vocals  and his characteristic 'woman! ',but this is part of Miguel's  musical evolution.
