When one’s career is as celebrated as Miguel‘s, it should come as little surprise that his gift now finds itself sought after by acts he considered to be inspiration during his come-up.
Now, after working his magic on Mariah Carey to create the Platinum ‘Beautiful’, the R&B life-force has showered praise on ‘Killing Time‘ performer Beyonce, whom he has called liberating in a new interview with our pals over at ‘Vibe‘.
Kinds words from the Grammy-winning wordsmith below…
An except from the interview reads:
“Unless you’re asexual, it’s impossible to hear Beyoncé’s “Rocket” and not feel an intense urge to invite your guy/gal/cutty buddy over to do the no-pants dance. And according to the song’s author, the song was written with that in mind.
Miguel, who penned Bey’s 2013 update to D’Angelo’s rhetorical classic “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” says he was challenged by Mrs. Carter to push the envelope with some of her most risqué lyrics yet.
“I’ll never forget the conversation I had with Beyoncé and her insisting that nothing was off-limits,” Miguel tells VIBE. “And me being like, ‘Oh yeah, you sure? Because I can really take it there.’”
And take it there he did. Once Miguel got the OK from Yonce, he came up with the song’s definitive opening line: “Let me sit this ass… on you.”
“What’s the first thing I’d want Beyoncé to say to me, as a man? What have I not heard her say?” Miguel recalls thinking. “That’s where the song came from. And essentially it’s what all of us would want Beyoncé to say to us—no disrespect, obviously, to Jay.”
Miguel just might be on to something (see the lustful slow-mo video for “Rocket”). But his record isn’t the only track on Beyoncé that shows off her sensual side. She sings about cunnilingus on “Blow” and returns the favour in the backseat of a car on “Partition.” “Drunk In Love,” her duet with hubby Jay Z, even popularises a sex position (Serfbort!).
“She’s confident and [“Rocket”] showcases that part of her that we haven’t seen—her confidence and her sexuality—which can be liberating to a certain degree,” says Miguel, who is hard at work on his Kaleidoscope Dream follow-up. “I hope that’s why she loves the record—that’s why I love the record.”
He adds: “She’s a beautiful woman and that’s why even women love her… She just rocked everyone’s world.”
Everyone loves Beyonce….
OMG WHOOOOO CARESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
More Beyonce ass kissing
But i like Miguel hope he releases new music soon
I’ve listened to “Rocket” several times and the best part of the song for me is “Let me sit this ass…on you”…. I wasn’t a fan of that D’angelo song either…. Also “Speechless” is one of her most underrated songs it slays and is s*** as hell. I don’t get why people are acting like this is her first time singing about s**, she’s more bold with it, but it’s nothing new.
I’ll take “Speechless” and “Dance For You” over this track.
HIS SHORT ASS BETTTA STAN FOR THE QUEEN
Beyonce slays! Her sister LeToya’s new single will premiere on February 3! 🙂
if i was miguel and beyonce told me nothing was offlimits, the first thing obviously would be s**, but as more interesting an album is if beyonce discussed her father and her baby brother and infidelity and the true tea behind destinys child breakup, now that would be artistic
@Molly
Girl, aint nothing wrong with kissing Beyonce’s round phat booty…
Nothing is off limits apparently, except the authors of the song taking full ownership of the credits they most definitely deserve.
Fighting for full ownership of the credits on this p*** song is off limits.
How is this ass kissing? Miguel, Justin Timberlake, and Bey wrote the song! Of course he is proud of his work, Miguel is great song writer! Rockets is amazing, R&B realness.
I like how the only thing Beyonce writes on a song is her name on the writing credits.
And I don’t know how any man would want Beyonce’s elephant figure to sit their cellulite gigantic ass on you; you would most definitely be crushed.
It is like a mouse trying to s** play with a hippo. More cushion for the pushing I guess; but there is such a thing as too much cushion.
Everyone stans for Bey
But hey, maybe when this song was written for her, she lost some two pounds.
She does look like she has been indulging on the Italian food lately; someone take the plate away from her and give her an apple.
@LoveBird, n***** how do you even know what Beyonce write’s. You be talking like YOU are in the studio with them.
Shut up, and stop calling Beyonce’s music p***.
P*** is when 2 people start having s** & you see the penis enter the v*****. THATS P***!
Except Khia ^ lol
I do love blow though; it goes well with the bisexual p*** I love to watch from time to time.
I love partition!
Can Beyoldce even spell her name? She is a idiot kii
LoveBird, you are so stupid. Beyonce is only 5’6. Her husband is 6’2…
Beyonce is actually a very smaalle woman in person. But you would not know that cause you have never met in the flesh.
You are stupid. Also, a real man is not under 5’10..
Real men would love Beyonce hour glass figure all over them. Bye Ho
@SuperCisus can you keep your legs closed? didn’t think so!
Hour glass figure? How wide is that hour glass?
Wendy Williams also has an “hour glass figure”, they must belong to the same hour glass.
A real man is not under 5’10? That is the dumbest s*** I ever heard lmfaoooo but then again you stan for Dumbriah so I aint surprised
@Dark h** can your mom????????
Get out of the closet!
Actually my mom can she only has two kids unlike your mom who has a child by every dude in her neighborhood 🙂 @SuperShit
Stan for the Queen Bey. @Stephy yes. Hour Glasses >>>>>Washboards.
Thats what my boyfriend always says.
Beyoncé is 5″8
Miguel can do all those type of things in my body.. He can have it all day all year tbh he’s just ugh SIGH.
@Greekgod no Stephy is right, she is 5 ft 6. She is actually petite in person. The screen makes her look taller and wider. She is 5 ft 8 with heels.
Lovebird is that you in that pic
@markJones yea right
Beyonce is NOT 5’8… I met Beyonce in person in 2009 after her show in Philly. & She was short. Im 5’7 & she was shorter than me…
Beyonce is around 5’5 – 5’6….
She just looks big cause she always has on 5-6 inch heels…
Also, Super Cicus KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED Booo
@ S****** Blonde
Omg he really needs to come out already 🙂
Come out of the closet already Miggy!!!!!!!
That’s Rihanna’s MCM and I approve; he is so hot.
They would make such a power couple, and I would love to be in the middle of that.
I’m 5 ft 8, i have seen Beyonce in person several times and trust me, even with heels, she’s still shorter than me.
The song and video is sure Turn On woo. And she looks so effortlessly beautiful in that video aswell. They did a great job with that piece.
@S******…
Dont be trynna rush people out the closet! I remember when I told people I was gay & people laughed & said Bitchh we knew you were a f****… I was very hurt but I got over it… LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE
Miguel is just gorgeous..
@STDphy keep it cute uglee
Bey is tall I saw her last year she’s was really tall.
The song is everything!
Ugggggggggghhhh…..everyone is really praising this uneducated country bumpkin! Like i’ve said in the past…there’s nothing spectacular about this bish!!
She is overrated & she ain’t make good music since D.I.L. I really wish she would retire!! So sick of her!
Rocket is one of my personal favorites on the album. I always wanted her to do another ‘Speechless’ type song. And the visual is just flawless.
Preach brother Miguel!
Yawn.. praising this thief is so damn overrated.She is overrated and the a** kissing is played out. Her singing is average, her dancing sucks, she looks like a T*****, her wig is shyt,she cant write, her songs are generic, the ho is fake.
Yes Miguel said it perfectly. Beyonce gets love you’re just gonna have to DEAL and find the common denominator is not you opinion for a reason!
Everybody Loves Beyonce.
I mean just name somebody in the music bizz that hasn’t praised her or hasn’t been looking up to her?? Even Princess Rihanna (Who’s now one of the greatest pop artists on the planet has praised Queen bey)
*Bey’s Voice* “I know when you were little girls, you dreamed of being in my world, don’t forget it, don’t forget it respect that, Bow Down bishes”
OMG! I Can’t believe how much you love Beyonce. You are totally infatuated with her. Remember, HATE comes from intense feelings of LOVE… Your actually making me look bad cuz I’m a huge fan of hers and you got me beat! Lol. 🙂
@BRAZILIAN YONCÉ please get a damn clue… Beyonce is like 5ft 6inches so clearly you never seen her in concert much less in real life
BYE!
I meant to @Lovebird
@Lovebird you must not socialize with many straight guys. Because they like stuff to play with. They may fawn over some skinny b****** but they prefer bounce as oppose to rattle. Especially black men. And for one, Beyonce is not even tall or fat… She is compact and curvy and perfect size for most men.
@Super Flopus…
Keep your legs closed FUGLY! Aint nothing ugly about me babe..
Really, who gives a f***?!
I guess Drake was right. GIRLS do love Beyonce after all.
Oh our resident Angrybird is PRESSED at something Beyonce related, nothing new there. I understand though, I would also be seething if my no talent fave was barely given any recognition by her peers. And as if that wasn’t enough, have someone school her on how to do a s*** GQ cover and still retain some class..
A Nicki stan talking about CLASS? LMAAAOOOO!!!!!
uh…YOU care. You clicked on the article. Then read the article. And then was bothered enough to leae a comment. People who don’t care, don’t bother with all that activity.
Oh. Still mad no one’s buying “Body party?” I understand.
“Stan for the Queen Bey. @Stephy yes. Hour Glasses >>>>>Washboards.
Thats what my boyfriend always says”
LOL!!! Your” boyfriend” is being polite to you. He secretly checks out thin slick ones and thinks to himself what’s it’s like to bed one and be flipping them so effortlessly. When you sit on him he probably gasps for air but then again he is being polite.
And @ stephy,
WTF is a real men? Don’t you mean whale hunters?
How can u shade Beyonce body??? Rihanna’s curves are non existent AND she’s all head and shoulders. The b**** looks like a damn life sized bratz doll. So sit the f*** down.
