*Miguel has totally taken the spotlight with “Adorn.”
Or it could be the other way around. Regardless, the man’s song, which is still loved by fans all over the world, must have had some ear crack or something because it’s still being played nonstop.
He says the secret is the language.
“It is one of those powerful words that is barely used,” the singer told Radio.com “But this idea of bestowing your love upon someone, kind of laying it on them, I don’t know, I just kind of like that.”
The bi-racial (Mexican father and an African American mother) singer/songwriter/producer said the song was first inspired during a flight back to California when he was thinking about the word ‘adorn.’
By the time he touched down, he had already thought of the melody, but the lyrics were still swirling around in his mind.
“I went right to the keyboard when I got home and laid down the chords that I had been hearing in my head for the 6-hour flight,” he said. “For some reason this particular night, this moment, playing the chords, these lines started coming.”
The song turned out to be an incredibly sweet ode to his ride or die girlfriend of seven years. He said it was a compilation of all the songs he’s created over the years.
By the way, Sunday night he won a Best R&B Song Grammy for the tune.

Watch, listen & groove to “Adorn”:
I like the song Adorn, when I first heard it months ago I immediately downloaded it! Miguel is not really a strong singer but he did very well with this song. Congratulations Miguel on your grammy win.
Don’t really like the song I am tired of hearing it and it it really has no beat that you can dance to or anything it really just sounds like a cat caught under a chair to me (just screaming)I am not a fan
I’ve enjoyed the song when I first heard it.I see no problem with Miguel’s voice or sound. He has his own original vocal style & isn’t trying to be Usher, Ne-Yo or anyone else.
I like the song and yes Miguel is not a strong vocalist BUT he does just as well as some of the others, glad someone new won for a change.
Adorn is a classic track. Just like his first song Sure Thing. Avant, Miguel, and Bruno Mars are helping to keep good music alive.
Don’t understand the hype behind this Miguel song. Same way I don’t understand the hype behind Frank Ocean.
Frank Ocean is more of a studio artist. Not really good as a live artist but knows how to make a sonically good CD. If Prince or Michael Jackson had recorded the track, more people might appreciate the appeal. Oh and Miguel has a great tone to his voice. He deserved that Grammy.
I know no one asked me but I like the song Adorn, it has that ol’ school vibe to it. I could hear Marvin Gaye doing this song and before anyone starts flipping out that’s just my opinion. As for Frank Ocean….who? WTH just no! Just my 2 pennies folks.
Disagree about Ocean, but I agree that Miguel is talented. I just think “Adorn” is waaay overhyped, not crazy about that song. I thought his previous single, “Sure Thing” was a much better song. But jmo
That’s why I love music. A lot of Black folks didn’t like Prince when he recorded the classic project called Dirty Mind. Called him a Fag and.not Black enough. Than Prince recorded 1999. Didn’t change his style, just allowed folks to catch up. And yes Marvin would be another Artist who would have done a great job with Adorn. I am looking forward to seeing Miguel prosper.
I don’t know much about his music but I think he is HOT
LIAR.
love the song. congrats miguel on your grammy.
