For his 40th birthday, GRAMMY Award-winning artist Miguel chose not to celebrate with extravagance but with honesty. CAOS—his first album in nearly eight years—is both a declaration and a detonation. Out today via ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records, the project captures Miguel in rare form: stripped, fearless, and fully reborn
The album opens with an existential Spanish monologue, a haunting introduction to a body of work that transforms pain into poetry. “Transformation is violent,” Miguel admits. “CAOS is me bending that violence into something universally felt.”
Since redefining R&B with Kaleidoscope Dream and Wildheart, Miguel has championed the rise of Alternative and genre-fluid artistry. His music has become a blueprint for artists searching for freedom beyond labels—a legacy now blooming in new voices across music’s evolving landscape.
As he steps into a new decade, Miguel doesn’t simply reinvent himself; he expands the boundaries of what self-expression can sound like. CAOS is not destruction—it’s design. A masterclass in how beauty, even in its most disordered form, is still beautiful.
