Miguel is finally dropping a new album called Caos on October 23, which also happens to be his 40th birthday.
It’s been a long wait since War & Leisure came out in 2017, and after all this time, everyone’s been wondering when he’d return with something big—well, here it comes, and the artwork is already out for everyone to see. Since that last album, he’s put out two EPs (Te Lo Dije and Art Dealer Chic 4), plus a few singles, but out of all those tracks, only “Always Time” made it onto the new 12-song record.
“To rebuild, I had to destroy myself. That is the core confrontation of Caos,” Miguel explained, talking about how he once teased an album called Viscera before this. “Through my personal evolution, I learned that transformation is violent. Caos is the sonic iteration of me bending that violence into something universally felt.”
Fans really hope this album will be worth the wait.
Sometimes, when artists go quiet for a while and then come back, their music sounds totally different—like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, or maybe a butterfly turning into a dragon, which would be pretty wild.
