<\/a><\/p>\nWonderland\u00a0<\/em>favourite and eternally pompadoured Miguel released his third album,\u00a0Wildheart<\/em>, earlier this year to much critical acclaim for its guitar-heavy beats and sex-positive lyrics in a genre often dominated by aggressively masculine identities and selfish sex\u00a0songs. ‘Waves’ was a standout turn-up track from the album, among some slower, more sensual pieces, so we were understandably excited to watch\u00a0the stunning new video for the single.<\/p>\n Directed by Darren Craig – who’s worked with Rihanna and recently shot Big Sean’s ‘Blessings’ video – and Miguel himself, it’s a lush, trippy party scene featuring a leopard print clad, bare-chested\u00a0Miguel (no surprises there) performing on stage in his typically flamboyant style: lots of microphone-stand grabbing, drinking-from-the-bottle, and close up shots of face-licking for good measure. The middle of the video sees him plunging into water\u00a0among billowing dresses, cue submerged vocals, before he gets sub-aqueous-erotic\u00a0with two women (ever the loverboy). The club scenes are filmed in Good Time Davey Wane’s in Hollywood – a fitting choice given that much of the album explores the seductive yet amoral hedonism of California – and feature cameos from J. Cole, Wale and Vanessa Hudgens.\u00a0The video for ‘Waves’ come on the heels of\u00a0his recent \u2018Best Video\u2019\u00a0Q Magazine<\/em>\u00a0Award nomination for his first single \u2018Coffee\u2019, also taken from \u2018Wildheart\u2019.<\/p>\n
