“It’ll be under Art Dealer Chic. It’ll be the next three installments… It’ll be [on] July, August and September,” Miguel told Billboard.com.

Miguel plans to release the first of the three EPs in July, the second in August and the third in September.

The three-EP series will be free and available for download online, much like the first Art Dealer Chic volume was.

Directed by Clark Jackson, the clip for the latest single from Miguel’s Grammy-nominated Kaleidoscope Dream album features the singer and Lamar performing the song in sleek and stylish black and white ensembles.

Miguel dances in and out of the shadows, with his full band backing him, while the rapper comes in with a quick toss of the mic then cues Miguel’s return to the stage when dropping it.

“I’m super excited about this video because I haven’t seen a live performance like we’ve done, in a really long time,” Miguel told Vibe. “It was really important to capture the artistry and the performance, and almost elevate the integrity and the artistry of the song because it’s a pretty straightforward record.”

Miguel, who recently toured with Alicia Keys, is currently working on three new EPs for this summer, similar to his Art Dealer Chic series.

“This time it’ll be bigger and better,” Miguel told VIBE. “I intend on having limited-edition apparel with them, so it’ll be really dope.”

Similar to Miguel’s first series, the upcoming EPs will feature three tracks each.

There aren’t any details as to whether the second series will lead into his third album, just as his smash-hit single “Adorn” segued into his critically acclaimed sophomore album, Kaleidoscope Dream.

Miguel is also working on the remix and video for the Kaleidoscope Dream track, “How Many Drinks,” which will feature Kendrick Lamar.

“Kendrick is poised to be the next staple in hip-hop [and] I certainly intend on becoming that for R&B. I don’t get that vibe that he’s putting on… I just feel like he’s just being honest in his music. Newer, younger artists, that’s what we’re all striving to do. Just be ourselves. Kendrick is one of the best examples of that,” he said.

He added that his collaboration with Lamar will  “sound like a breath of fresh air.” The track is set to debut this month.

Aside from working on new music, Miguel is currently on tour with Alicia Keys and will be performing at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, airing live on ABC from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 19.
