Miguel Announces June Release Date for New Album 'Wildheart'

Earlier this week, Miguel released an updated version of his 2014 track "Coffee (F*cking)" and he's just announced a June release date for his new album Wildheart.

Miguel stopped by Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning and discussed a variety of things including the Met Gala, his relationship and, of course, new music.

He announced that the follow-up to 2012's Grammy-nominated Kaleidoscope Dream will arrive on June 30.

"I really am wild-hearted," the R&B crooner said. "That just means that I follow my instincts. That's what this album is about."

Wildheart will feature previously released tracks like "nwa," "Hollywood Dreams," and the porn-inspired "The Valley."

During the interview, Miguel also hinted at what fans can expect visually from the "Adorn" singer.

"Visually I wanted to do something different for this album," he explained. "Everyone can look forward to something really special visually."

Mark Pitts, President of Urban Music at RCA Records and ByStorm Entertainment CEO, recently offered up an update on Miguel's latest project.

"We're 90 percent done," he said While talking with Billboard. "Its working title is Wildheart and we're talking second quarter. He's more confident, and it's going to show in the music, his look and in the videos. Miguel is ready to push the button. His first album was about trials and tribulations. The second was OK, we're here; I wasn't bugging. And now it's here we go. He wants people to understand who he is. He's tired of people asking, 'who are you, what's that, do you like girls?' He tells me, 'I want everyone to know I am wild, funny, edgy and love women. I need this album to connect.'"
