Miguel is gearing up to share his new album "Wildheart" with the world. The record, a follow-up to his critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated 2012 set "Kaleidoscope Dream", is scheduled to hit the stores on Tuesday, June 30.

The new full-length was preceded by an EP Miguel released back in December 2013. The songs appearing on the EP, including " NWA" featuring Kurupt, "Hollywood Dreams" and "Coffee", all make the cut to "Wildheart". The latter was even picked as the lead single.

Another highlight from the record is "What's Normal Anyway", on which Miguel recalls his childhood and talks about him struggling to be accepted by the society for being different. "Too proper for the black kids, too black for the Mexicans/ Too square to be a hood n***a, what's normal anyway?" he sings on the track.

Born to a Mexican father and a black mother, and raised in Los Angeles, the 29-year-old singer always knew that he's different. He explained to NPR, "My taste was just different. So I would get around my black friends and play up whatever the idea of being black was, and then with my Latino friends, I kind of played that up there. And it just wasn't, you know - it wasn't real."

To support "Wildheart", Miguel will embark on a summer tour that opens on July 24 in Austin, TX. He'll make stops in other North American cities including Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and Toronto before wrapping things up on September 4 in Los Angeles.
