Miguel Asks The Tough Questions w/ This Unfinished, Yet Poignant New Song

Miguel_GovBall-8581

"This version was started (written/recorded) here in London in my hotel room between the hours of 4am and around 7am when i passed out. ill update this song every week until its complete."

As we continue work through our pain and frustration in the wake of these recent shootings of and by police, artists and civilians alike are raising their voices in solidarity with the families of those lost and the #BlackLivesMatter movement, now more important than ever. Today, Miguel has added his voice to the chorus of mourning souls, releasing the unfinished, yet incredibly poignant new track, "How Many," asking the questions some would prefer to refrain from, crooning, heartbreakingly, over the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castileboth slain at the hand of those sworn to protect us. You can hear Miguel's soon-to-be-complete new song down below and hope with us all that we see an end to these systemic travesties in our lifetimes. If you're looking to make a contribution to the family of Alton Sterling, you can do so by hitting the link below to donate.
