From the sounds of this unreleased song from Miguel, he was destined for musical stardom. The Cali native recently dropped a new melody on his Soundcloud, but it’s not as fresh as you think. Dating back to 1999, the “Waves” singer blew the dust off a track he recorded at the age of 14 titled “U R On My Mind.”
The 5-minute soundscape features a Los Angeles rapper by the name of Blu and was produced by Anthony Williams. On the nostalgic melody, Miguel flexes his adolescent voice as if he was a seasoned vocalist who dropped three critically-acclaimed albums, which he evidently went on to do with the success of All I Want Is You, Kaleidoscope Dream and Wildheart.
“U R On My Mind” will instantly send you into a groove reminiscent of those classic 90’s R&B days, and it remains true to Miguel’s lyrical nature of singing about a love that he can’t seem to get out of his membrane.
Listen to his young vocal prowess below.
