Courtesy Photo Miguel dropped new single “Coffee” featuring Wale with a profane lyrical twist last month. The single is off his third album Wildheart. The crooner admits the album is about sex. “This album is Los Angeles, it’s attitude, it’s aggression, it’s sex, it’s pyschedelia, it’s lust, it’s loneliness,” he told VH1 about the upcoming album. “It’s just more aggressive. It’s just raw. That’s why I love this album,” said Miguel who also loves several of the songs on the new LP, without picking one favorite. Wildheart is set to release Tuesday, June 30.
