New Music: Benny Blanco, Calvin Harris & Miguel – “I Found You / Nilda’s Story” [LISTEN]

Benny Blanco and Calvin Harris joined forces with Miguel to create a heartfelt video and song about immigration and how it can takes a toll on families. Miguel sings the vocals over the 5-minute
soundtrack to the story of a Guatemalan woman named Nilda, who was separated from her child
when she tried to cross over into the United States on “I Found You / Nilda’s Story.”

The new version of the song, which is even more emotional than the original, shows exactly the story of an immigrant feeling violence while being forced to wait for asylum in the United States.

New Music: Miguel – “Sky Walker (Spanish Version)” [LISTEN]

Miguel embraces his latin roots with a hot, Spanish version of his ‘War & Leisure’ single “Sky Walker.” The bi-racial singer keeps the song’s hook, but reworks much of the song in Spanish to please his hispanic followers and give the track a new layer.

I hope Miguel drops a Spanish album or releases a Spanish version of ‘War & Leisure’ with features from latin acts.
