Miguel discusses his new album 'Chaos' as a project of introspection and personal renewal, contrasting it with his previous work focused on romantic pursuits. He details his journey growing up in LA with a mixed heritage, the influence of his parents' divorce on his emotional expression through music, and his commitment to mental health and community support through his label, Schedule One Concepts.
Key takeaways 5
Miguel's new album 'Chaos' represents a shift from external romantic expression to internal self-improvement and emotional intelligence, aiming for 'personal intimacy' with the audience.
Growing up in a mixed-race household (Black and Mexican) in LA during the 90s involved navigating identity struggles and feeling the need to constantly prove oneself, which has transformed into pride in his heritage on the new album.
Miguel founded Schedule One Concepts (S1C) to support Black, Brown, and Latino talent, focusing on providing grants, mental health resources, and business education to prevent young artists from making costly career mistakes.
The conversation highlights the difference between reacting emotionally (common in sports environments like football) and responding with emotional intelligence (crucial for personal relationships and mental health).
Miguel conducted the Houston Symphony for his album, noting the high cost of instruments (e.g., a $16 million cello) and the dedication required by orchestra members.

“Emotionality is what brings people together. It reminds people that that's we're human. And I think that's the most important thing we need now when things are starting to feel like it's all about technology and we're losing humanity.”
