Cole in the new video for “Power Trip.” Miguel also spoke about covering the new issue of Vibe magazine and being called a ‘trailblazer,’ he also shared his feelings about the attack on Boston.
“The weird part is that, these marathons are set up to benefit non-profit organizations, so they have no political or religious [connection], it’s really unfortunate, not only for the innocent bi-standers, but for the organizations that stand to benefit from the people that take their time and energy to run for these causes. It’s really unfortunate and my prayers go out to the families and the victims,” Miguel shared.
In his backstage clip, Miguel talks about working with Frank Ocean, what inspired the rock version of “How Many Drinks” that he performed on SNL, and more.
