Why is nobody listening to Caos?

i feel like it was lowkey really poorly marketed - i only knew he was dropping bc im a big fan. i feel like if youre gonna not drop for 8 years you need to market the return better

Nothing from him since Wildheart has hit to me… sad he was one of my favorites of current R&B. Like my expectations of CAOS is not open… not one song released so far I enjoy. Damn Miguel.
