Anthony Miguel

As dispiriting as it may seem to draw associations to the COVID-19 global pandemic, it is indeed significant to place this timestamp on More Than You Know. For starry-eyed Anthony, the album feels like a slingshot from the pandemic. The process through which this body of work was made is the most meaningful part of his latest release. The end product, he says, “is only a reflection of how we got there.” Its conception began on a walk to a bar a few years ago that inspired what would become the track Wind Speak. But gradually, the emotionally evocative album came together as a kaleidoscopic collage of Anthony’s influences and a little help from his friends.

More Than You Know is a triumph that showcases Anthony’s willing vulnerability but also his maturity as a musician, songwriter, producer, and overall artist. This is all, of course, underpinned by his ever evolving curiosity for what music can do but even more so about the contagion effect of working together with others. “It’s a movement,” he says, “you hold space, make space, then take space.”
