"After two long years, Miguel finally released a new album, and it was everything I hoped for. From his infectious single 'Skywalker' with rapper Travis Scott to his funky hit 'Told You So,' there is truly a song to match all of my moods. The only thing that could make it better? Listening to it live!" — Monica Sisavat, assistant editor
"When Miguel decided to flip the script, ditch his baby-making love songs, and tackle political undertones on War & Leisure, I'll admit I wasn't sure what to expect . . . but I was pleasantly surprised. Mixing sounds that blur the lines of R&B, funk, Latin pop, and rock and roll, he artfully explores what it means to be 'woke' and yet gracious enough to still appreciate all that you have to be thankful for. With Donald Trump as president and the imminent threat of war looming over our heads every day, there's something cathartic about this album that almost makes you forget (even if for a moment) that we're on the brink of losing it all. And what better way to spend your leisure?" — Terry Carter, assistant editor
"I was so ready for a new Miguel album and I'm even more ecstatic that he did what he does best, which is f*cking deliver. This album, like his previous ones, has so many hidden gems, and I love that he refuses to box himself into a genre — it allows all of his work to be unique, sexy, and mysterious. War & Leisure is no exception: the album takes you through a slew of emotions while maintaining a psychedelic feel-good vibe that has you swaying with every single." — ZS
