(WaMu Theater) Alicia Keys is beautiful, talented, and, to my ears, boring as hell. But opener Miguel is beautiful, talented, and a veritable one-man thrill ride. Where Frank Ocean comes off cold and brainy, Miguel is pure heat. His voice can easily go anywhere it wants, so the man saves his energy for sex, which he celebrates with every cell in his being (especially those in his brain). The instructional "Use Me" will leave a wet spot under any listener with a pulse, while "Do You (Like Drugs)" seems like a question until the chorus, when Miguel drops "I'm gonna..." in front of the title. Swoon.
