Back in 1999, Miguel was already in training to become the freak-soul god he is today, as you'll hear on "U R on My Mind." Posted to Soundcloud last night (read Miguel's reminiscences on the track below), you'll hear the younger Miguel hit a distinctly Lauryn Hill sound. That lovesick vibe is compounded by a verse from Blu, rap's underground stalwart, and given a bubbling, spacey edge by producer Anthony Williams. Check that out below, then watch Miguel's "Waves" video from his excellent new album Wildheart.
