Miguel To Release New Set Of ‘Art Dealer Chic’ EPs This Summer

Miguel‘s excellent Kaleidoscope Dream seemingly came out of nowhere last fall, but for people who had been following the singer, his sophomore breakthrough was the culmination of a year of hard work and a perfectly executed product rollout. Miguel released a series of three EPs throughout 2012 called Art Dealer Chic, which successfully built up hype and got various corners of the internet eager for a new full-length. Long before “Adorn” was being performed on the Grammy stage and taking home the trophy for Best R&B Song, it was just the buzzy introduction to these releases.

And now, Miguel is going to do it all over again — but this time with a lot more people paying attention. He has announced plans for  another set of Art Dealer Chic EPs to drop this summer (presumably Volumes 4, 5 and 6). “This time it’ll be bigger and better,” he told Vibe. “I intend on having limited-edition apparel with them, so it’ll be really dope.” R&B game Kanye West!

The singer also talked a bit about his forthcoming “How Many Drinks?” remix with Kendrick Lamar. In case the EP plans weren’t an indicator of Miguel’s relentless ambition, here’s a clue: “Kendrick is poised to be the next staple in hip-hop [and] I certainly intend on becoming that for R&B.” Can this R&B renaissance please never end?
