Miguel Pimentel made a splash in 2010 with his striking debut, All I Want Is You. The Los Angeles–based singer/songwriter is adept at incorporating classic R&B and other styles into a sound that doesn’t really feel retro. Pimentel is often compared to Prince, another pop artist who successfully mixed genres and influences to create work with a strong personal stamp. Miguel’s excellent 2012 follow-up, Kaleidoscope Dream, finds the lover man coming into his own. “Adorn” evokes “Sexual Healing”–period Marvin Gaye, but Pimentel, who wrote and produced the track, brings his own vibe to the music. “Where’s the Fun in Forever?” places a chugging rhythm section up front and features a guest appearance by Alicia Keys. “Candles in the Sun” is a delightful slow jam with subtle echoes of the 1974 William DeVaughn hit “Be Thankful for What You Got.” The most delicious—and funky—song here is the title track. Riding a monster bass line, Pimentel’s layered vocals dazzle amid whooshes and other effective touches. A remix of “Adorn” with Wiz Khalifa on board is the closer.
