It is not too often these days that you hear a highly popular, mainstream artists break away from “what sells” to produce a piece of work that inhabits the truth of the current state of the world. When it’s done, there is something refreshing about it: almost like a crisp wind kissing your face in the early hours of the morning. It awakens you both physically and mentally, pushing you to be more aware of life around you and seek ways for change.

This is exactly what R&B singer Miguel has done with his latest work, “Candles In The Sun.”

Veering from the sensual, bedroom grooves of his Billboard-topping hit singles, the artist trades bedsheets and candlelight for the church and the streets in his newest release, showing versatility and willingness to ponder both spiritual and social issues. –(HypebeastTV)

About creating the song and the accompanying video, Miguel stated, “It’s so easy to ignore what’s right in front of us sometimes. I wanted to create a song and visual that addressed my everyday concerns of life as I know it in the world that we live in,”

The moment I watched this premiere this morning, I instantly fell in love with it. Not only for Miguel’s beautiful words and voice, rising and falling like a shout from the soul pleading to make a difference as I have heard in other artists of previous eras such as Marvin Gaye, but also for the amazing and thought-provoking imagery from beginning to end. I could not stop listening to it. The video is raw and real. I could not take my eyes off of it. And because of that, I could not wait to share it here with you.

This song can be found on Miguel’s critically acclaimed album “Kaleidoscope Dreams” which is available now.

I Love it and think all people shall express our feelings for creating a better future for all people and coming generations. We are only creative when we listen to our inner voice and keep on going with passion no matter what with our life purpose.
I have always .loved message music.
I believe if more artissts did at least one real song about what effects us or paints a positive picture are youth might help change what is popular and what sells. Thanks for sharing this with us!
