Miguel Brings His ‘Wildheart Motel’ To Los Angeles, Rihanna Covers MJB’s “Not Gon’ Cry”

It seems like if you were invited to Miguel‘s “Wildheart Motel” in Los Angeles last weekend, you had the golden ticket to the party of the year!

On January 29 and 30, the “Waves” singer hosted a two-day immersive art installation in a seedy Baldwin Hills, California motel that was completely transformed by him and artist Will Perron. They turned 21 of the motel rooms into an experience that party goers couldn’t forget. Each room was centered around a different art piece ranging from a glory hole that served tacos, flowing waterfall walls, and a dance party cave dripping with stalactites. Guests were allowed to roam from room to room freely in what essentially was the Wildheart’s living, breathing, epic peep show.

Over both nights, rising stars ranging from Raury, Tinashe, Tory Lanez, Travis Scott, and Quincy were all in attendance at the magical experience Miguel created for his guests. Night one in particular was a once and a lifetime experience for lucky guests in the karaoke room because they were surprised with a performance by Rihanna singing Mary J. Blige’s “Not Gon’ Cry” that blew up social media the next morning. The man of the hour performed his own acoustic set in the jam room with his guitarist and performed a medley of his songs including “Supernatural” and “Vixen” from his 2010 debut. Miguel even wiped away tears from his eyes as he recalled to those in the room his triumphs and tribulations trying to make his big break after constant rejections from people saying there was no place for him in the music industry.

If you weren’t lucky enough to score an invite to Miguel’s “Wildheart Motel,” unfortunately all you can do now is live through the pictures and videos below.

Relive the “Wildheart Motel” now!
