Miguel

"Adorn" is the first single from Miguel's second studio album Kaleidoscope Dream (2012). It was entirely written and produced by Miguel, who was inspired by a series of dreams he experienced prior to writing the song. "Adorn" was released to iTunes on August 7th. It peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Miguel's most successful single to date, as well as his third number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. A remix of "Adorn", featuring vocals from American rapper Wiz Khalifa, was released to digital retailers in the United States on September 18th.

The song originally appeared on the Miguel mixtape Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1, released on February 27th. It was then included on a promotional extended play titled Kaleidoscope Dream: The Water Preview on July 31st, one of two extended plays commissioned by Miguel to act as promotion for Kaleidoscope Dream.

Erin Thompson of Seattle Weekly commented that Miguel "made a particularly nice choice of metaphor in the song's chorus-'Let my love adorn you.' When a woman hears the word 'adorn,' she probably thinks of diamonds and Dior; Miguel's rich vocals convey the same sense of luxury. That's a man who knows how to treat a woman."
