The "Adorn" singer talks about growing up, developing his sound, and his fashion sense.

Miguel is definitely a perfectionist. It's all over his painstakingly crafted songs like "Adorn," his style choices (very rare), and his raw live performances. And while perfectionism can be frustrating, it's hard to argue with results -- in the case of Miguel, we're referring to his fantastic album, Kaleidoscope Dream. The FADER agreed with this attitude by profiling and putting him on the cover of their December/January issue, and we've got exclusive photos from the issue you won't find anywhere else. Like Miguel himself, they're pretty much, well, perfect.
