1. Usher & Burna Boy, “Coming Home”

COMING HOME // mega / gamma. // 2024

“Baby, baby / Miss you daily / Ooh, I wanna be inside you / Ooh, I’ll be comin’ (Home).” Ooh-wee! Grammy-winning R&B superstar Usher brings hella chill vibes on “Coming Home,” the opener from his 2024 comeback album, COMING HOME. Well into his forties, Usher has no shortage of swagger. Vocally, he sounds as smooth as ever. He sings with great expression, nuance, and delivers some sickening runs. “Coming Home” features slick, minimal production touches, courtesy of Nigerian musician/producer, Pheelz. The groove is electrifying. The pre-chorus is catchy: “Ooh, I’m lost (Ooh-ooh) / Lost in the world (Ooh-ooh) / The price I paid (Ooh-ooh) / For all this fame (Ooh-ooh) / Baby, I’m comin’ (Home).” Likewise, the chorus is a win:

“Comin’ home (Ooh-ooh)

Yeah, I’m comin’ today (I’m comin’, ooh-ooh)

Wanna cuddle in bed (Oh-oh, ooh-ooh)

Won’t just open your legs (Ooh-ooh)

And then leave you for dead (Oh)

Keep it G on the down-low

Ooh, turn on the radio (Oh)

Let me take you to bed, take you to bed.”

A few more notes regarding this bop. The background vocals provide a lift. Grammy-winning Nigerian musician Burna Boy provides fabulous contributions. Also, within the form, the bridge offers fine contrast. Ultimately, “Coming Home” is a winner of Ush.

2. Tink, “Cum Get It”

Hopeless Romantic // Winter’s Diary / WD / EMPIRE // 2020

“Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy / I’m with it / Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy / come get it.” R&B singer/songwriter Tink (Trinity Home) endorses him and the ‘things’ they are going to do. With such a title as “Cum Get It”, pleasure and sex are the modus operandi. “Cum Get It” starts the freakiness early on Hopeless Romantic – track three! Written by Tink, David Sanya produced it. Fittingly, the instrumental is lush, sensual, and sleek. It is the perfect fuel for Home’s sexual fire. Tink is overt – no holding back when potentially meeting up with him. She asks, “Do you like missionary? ‘Cause I like 69’s / You thought I was a nice girl until I changed your mind.” Ooh-wee! In the second verse, her naughtiness continues. “You know my legs are flexible, come give me a stretch.” Damn! Furthermore, “I’m tryna make you climax back to back tonight.” Gah-da-yum! With two more verses, Home continues her titillating ways. “Turn the TV off for me, so I can hear you moan,” she sings in the third verse, encouraging him, “Let’s try a different position, boy, any way you like.” In the fourth and final verse, she tells him, “You ain’t gotta tell nobody what’s goin’ down in this room.” Discreet! No deep analysis is necessary on “Cum Get It”. This is a sex song, PERIOD.

Notably, Tink also recorded another seminal song on her 2022 album Pillow Talk – “Cum See Me” featuring Toosii.

3. Fredo Bang, “Come Thru”

“Come Thru” // Se Lavi Productions, Inc. / Def Jam // 2024

“The streets they washed up most of these niggas hoes / Can’t see be goin’ out sad, oh no, no, no.” Ooh-wee! Rapper Fredo Bang goes hard on his 2024 single, “Come Thru”. “Come Thru” is brief, with a runtime of just two minutes and change. Early on, he serves up a melodic rap flow. Even with pitched vocals in the mix, the bars are hard-nosed and tough. Helping to fuel his fire is the slick, sophisticated, and soulful production of DJ Chose and Hardbody B-Eazy. In the first verse, Fredo keeps it street 💯. The vibe is the same in the second. Here, he asserts, “We don’t give no fucks, play you out of luck, uh / I keep it on my side like my .40 was a crutch.” He adds, “I pray to God that my dawg come home / I keep a gun just to make it home / I hope my mom know I love her soul / But you raised a child with a troubled soul.” While the lyrics are rough and tumble, they are also thought-provoking. The chorus, also melodic, stands out:

“I swear to God, ‘fore I go out, I wanna shoot

Clap rods like it ain’t nothin’ else to do

Keep a stick on me, better have it on you

And if you got the drop, nigga, fuck it, come on through.”

Fredo Bang spits real shit on “Come Thru” authentically and entertainingly.

4. Patti Austin, “Baby, Come To Me” (with James Ingram)

Every Home Should Have One // Craft Recordings. / Concord // 1981

“Baby, come to me / Let me put my arms around you / This was meant to be / And I’m, oh, so glad I found you.” Patti Austin (1950 – ) duetted with the late, great James Ingram (1952 – 2019) on “Baby, Come To Me”. “Baby, Come To Me” appeared as the fifth track from Austin’s album, Every Home Should Have One, released in December 1981. “Baby…” initially debuted on the pop charts in 1982, but didn’t reach its peak position, no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, until February 1983. What propelled it? Playing as the soundtrack to a legendary soap opera: General Hospital. The Rod Temperton-penned / Quincy Jones-produced gem is Austin’s only top 40 hit. She charted four other songs on the pop charts. Her second-highest entry was a second duet with Ingram, “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” which peaked at no. 45. Although Austin would eventually win a Grammy, “Baby, Come To Me” wasn’t nominated – “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” was nominated instead, and lost.

The instrumental introduction of “Baby, Come To Me” sets the tone for the song. “Baby” benefits from classy, smooth, adult contemporary R&B production. The accompaniment comprises warm electric keys, a prominent, robust bass line, a sickening groove, picturesque synths, and strings. Celestial! The first voice heard is Patti Austin. She serves up smooth and sultry vocals. Her tone is exquisite. She never breaks a sweat. James Ingram sings alongside Austin during the chorus. He takes the reins in the second verse. His tone, like Austin’s, is warm, but also, grittier and more dynamic. In the second chorus, the vocal chemistry is sweet. His falsetto and ad-libs catch the ears. The commanding bridge is performed by both artists, starting with Ingram followed by Austin. Patti lets loose more in the third iteration of the chorus with a freer vocal. Besides elite performances by Austin and Ingram, the songwriting is elite too. The harmonic progression stands out throughout. The change of key scheme during the chorus keeps the listener engaged. Lyrically, matters of the heart never grow old, with the chorus yielding the most memorable lyrics. Excerpted earlier, the chorus continues:

“Need you every day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to livin’ without you.”

Patti Austin, assisted by James Ingram, delivered a tour de force with “Baby, Come To Me”. This song never grows old.

5. Hall & Oates, “You Make My Dreams (Come True)”

Voices // Sony Music Entertainment // 1980

“What I want / You’ve got, and it might be hard to handle / But like a flame that burns the candle / The candle feeds the flame, yeah, yeah.” YEAH! Iconic lyrics right there! Grammy-nominated duo, Hall & Oates – Daryl Hall and John Oates – had a magical career run, PERIOD. Among their most magical songs is the smash, “You Make My Dreams (Come True)”, from their 1980 album, Voices. The infectious, tuneful “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” was penned by Hall, Oates, and Sara Allen, who was previously in a relationship with Hall. Hall and Oates also produced the 1981, no. 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

“You Make My Dreams (Come True)” is a pop song that speaks for itself. No extensive analysis is necessary. The vocals are exuberant – filled with spirit. Something that stands out is how those lead vocals cut through. Beyond cutting leads, the melodies are tuneful from start to finish, with the chorus taking the cake:

“Oh, yeah, well, well, you (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

You make my dreams come true

You (You, you, you, ooh-ooh-ooh, you)

Well, well, well, you (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, yeah, you make my dreams come true

(You, you, you, ooh-ooh-ooh, you).”

Decadent! There is no shortage of personality, captured marvelously by the repeated lyrics, most notably, those oohs! The fun factor propels the eighth track from Voices. Another selling point? The production exemplifies the pop/rock aesthetic of the early 1980s – the guitars, keys, etc. “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” speaks to the greatness of the duo’s heyday and overall legacy.

6. Brooke Candy, “Cum” (Ft. Iggy Azalea)

SEXORCISM // Brooke Candy // 2019

“Make me cum, make me squirt / See my titties through my shirt.” Whoa – it’s suddenly getting hot 🥵 in here, Brooke Candy 😈! Sex positivity is part of the rapper/singer’s modus operandi evidenced by the chorus of “Cum” (no subtlety there). “Get me off, get me wet / Push my pussy to the edge,” she continues singing boldly. Candy penned “Cum” with featured guest, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, and rapper/singer, Ashnikko. Oscar Scheller produced this groovy, house cut. It is the fourth track from Candy’s 2019 debut studio album, SEXORCISM.

The chorus is heavy on orgasm and female ejaculation. In the first verse, Candy builds up to the release, which encompasses rawness, cowgirl, and fingering… “Trigger finger pop downtown / Standoff style, cowboy showdown now,” she sings, adding, “Supersoak, you might drown, bow down / Hold my crown, it’s your time to…” What more can you say but, damn, or the appropriate swear of choice. Brooke continues her sex positivity in the second verse: “Face all up in that wet / I bet you gonna love the scent.” Iggy Azalea enters the scene in the third verse, keeping the same energy as Brooke. “Murder the pussy, then plead your case / Fuck me good, then feed me grapes.” Iggy ends her verse with a bang: “Baby, make me cum just like I’m invited / And when I arrive, please answer the door.” A great song, avoid playing “Cum” at work – it’s far too sexy!

7. Keiynan Lonsdale, “Come Papi”

The Heart Defence Mixtape // Worboys Place Entertainment // 2023

Five words: “Come papi play with me.” It’s no secret, actor/singer Keiynan Lonsdale is easy on the eyes. Making him even sexier is his music, particularly a sexy, gay 🏳️‍🌈 song joint like “Come Papi”. From the onset, the vibe is everything. The tropical groove marks one of the best-selling points of this pop joint. Of course, the calm, cool, and collected vocals by Lonsdale up the ante. His chill approach sends me… sends the listeners… “I need bed kisses and night moaning…” The best sections of “Come Papi” are the chorus sections. Beginning with the pre-choruses, he paints a sweet, sensual picture of love. “Even though there’s danger / We feeling so safe here,” he sings, adding, “Wishing we were naked / So close we can taste it.” Ooh-wee! Of course, the chorus itself is the crème de la crème:

“Come papi play with me

Come papi play for me

I can show you the masterpiece

Show you the masterpiece

They say it’s heavenly

No need to ever leave this love.”

His passion grows on the outro where he digs in more vocally. The love, the sex, the heat, it’s on fire 🔥! Making things even hotter? “Come Papi” gets a sexy music video. Mm Papi!

8. H.E.R., “Come Through” (Ft. Chris Brown)

“Come Through” (Ft. Chris Brown) // RCA // 2021

“But you should come through tonight / I’m chilling on the Westside, boo.” Academy and Grammy Award winner H.E.R. (Gabriella Wilson) brings the heat on “Come Through” a highlight from her 2021 debut album, Back of My Mind. She collaborates with fellow Grammy winner Chris Brown. “Come Through” sounds moody from the beginning, set in a minor key. Despite its moodiness, the production is lush and radiant (Cardiak). Wilson sings beautifully, never getting too high yet packing a punch. “Almost missed my flight today / I look good, even though I feel shitty,” she sings in the first verse. The fix for such ‘shittiness’ is for him to “come through tonight!” In the second verse, Brown, seeing ‘her’ upset, provides his perspective, citing conflicts yet wishing to indulge in this late-night rendezvous. They combine in the third verse, discussing the state of their ‘relationship,’ followed by a collaborative chorus. On the outro, Wilson is waiting for him to “hit me on my phone.” “Come Through” is a well-rounded R&B joint through and through.

9. Måneskin, “HONEY (ARE U COMING?)”

RUSH! // Epic / Sony Music Entertainment Italy S.p.a. // 2023

Italian rock band Måneskin dropped the energetic “HONEY (ARE U COMING?)” in 2023. It appears on their album, RUSH!. SLY and Rami produced the loud joint. When the titular lyric is uttered in the intro, the eventual chorus, you know it’s on… like Donkey Kong 🤓. The guitars are dynamic, the bass line is active, and the vocals by the hot 🥵 Damiano David are energetic and playful. The listener gets a tuneful melody in the first verse. Notably, part of the second verse is more ‘talk-singing,’ adding more personality. There is some contrast in the pre-chorus, where David sings, “It’s 5 AM / We feel so good, it’s almost frightening / It’s 5 AM / I’m made for you, we can’t deny it.” The second iteration of the pre-chorus features some harmonized vocals, always a win. As expected, the chorus is gargantuan, arguably overblown. With successive listens the chorus grows more tuneful:

“Meet me there where it never closes

Meet me there where it’s never hopeless

All is fair in love, oh-oh-oh

Honey, are you coming?”

“HONEY (ARE U COMING?)” isn’t the second coming but it’s enjoyable.

10. Bryce Quartz, “Cum Pirate”

“Cum Pirate” // AVO Entertainment // 2024

“Slurp on that dick ‘til he give me his cum / Licking it up with my tongue.” Holy moly, Bryce Quartz! More like, ‘Blow me down’! The rapper is unapologetic in his 2024 single, “Cum Pirate”. The name suggests the experience is an adult experience… Quartz isn’t a subtle rapper. He is bold and true to his self, meaning, he doesn’t hold back or suppress his sexuality. “I give him good brain ‘til he going dumb,” he continues spitting on the chorus, adding, that he’ll “gag on it if he is hung.” Size matters in this case 🍆! Bryce isn’t the only thing ‘rough around the edges’ on “Cum Pirate.” The production is noisy and unrefined. That is fitting for this X-rated experience!

Bryce Quartz clarifies he wants “all of his cum.” In other words, he swallows! Why? He is a cum pirate who is on a cum diet… Yeah… Can you guess what else the bodily fluid does for him? It gets him excited… Also, Quartz mentions his role (top) and he’s “a young cub with a big prick.” Ooh-wee! Notably, based upon forthcoming lyrics, Bryce is likely vers… Anyways, when it comes to sex, he’s not a quiet dude! “I like it loud, baby, give me that feedback / I want that cum, Daddy, take a seat and lean back.” Ooh, Bryce, you are so nasty! Oh, and did you know he plays baseball, too? “Catch balls like a shortstop.” “Cum Pirate” is NOT safe for work, PERIOD! ‘Butt,’ it is entertaining, stimulating, and titillating, and booty 🍑 is treasure 🏴‍☠️ 😈.

11. Dexys Midnight Runners, “Come On Eileen”

Too Rye Ay // UMG Recordings, Inc. // 1982

“Come on, Eileen / Oh, I swear (Well, he means) / At this moment / You mean everything… ” Dexys Midnight Runners (now merely Dexys) charted only two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 😬. Only one of those singles by the UK pop band peaked in the top 40. Not only was “Come On Eileen” a top 40 hit, but it was also a no. 1 hit in the United States and other countries. The sole hit by the collective is the sugar honey iced tea – a marvelous gem from the 1980s. It is the 10^th track on Kevin Rowland and company’s 1982 album, Too Rye Ay. Rowland, James Paterson, and Kevin Adams penned it. Rowland produced it with Alan Winstanley and Clive Langer.

The main reason “Come On Eileen” is ‘the stuff’ is thanks to the catchy, memorable chorus (excerpted above). Rowland continues singing, enthusiastically, “You in that dress / My thoughts, I confess / Verge on dirty / Oh, come on, Eileen.” Hmm, emphasis on the come, it seems. Rowland wanted some action from Eileen – when he was a teenager, back in the day. Interestingly, “Come On Eileen” was originally “James, Van and Me,” paying ode to musicians who influenced Rowland. Rowland does reference Johnnie Ray in the first verse. In both verses, Kevin gives us some infectious Irish lyrics: “Toora, loora, toora, lo-rye-aye.” In the second verse, he swears he and Eileen won’t resign themselves to fate because “We are far too young and clever.” Rowland tells Eileen, and the audience, that they have the world in front of them and won’t be beaten down or held back by anything! They’re young and their life will be different. Do you know what else is different for the synth-heavy 1980s? “Come on Eileen” isn’t a synth track 🤯. There are violins, keys, and banjo – an Irish folk aesthetic. Enthusiastic, even four decades later, “Come On Eileen” is timeless.

12. Al Green, “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)”

Call Me // Hi Records / Fat Possum // 1973

“I can’t believe that it’s real / The way that you make me feel / A burning deep down inside / A love that I cannot hide.” Ooh wee, Al Green! Green is always good for a heaping dose of that Memphis soul. “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” is one of eight top-ten hits by the legendary soul musician. It spent 15 weeks on the charts in 1973, peaking at no. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. “And if keeping you and loving you means / Laying all my troubles down,” Green sings in the pre-chorus, then, “Here I am, baby, come and take me!” “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” is a standout from his 1973 album Call Me. The star of the show is Green. His vocals are once-in-a-lifetime good, ranging from his highly effective middle register, an incredibly ripe falsetto, and those signature howls. In addition to the voice and the love-oriented songwriting (“All this love’s inside of me / I believe there’s going to be an explosion, yeah”), the production (the late, great Willie Mitchell) and the arrangements are stunning. On “Here I Am,” the listener is spoiled by organ, electric piano, guitar, soulful drum groove, epic, and punchy horns. The horns complement Green superbly, particularly during the chorus section, the centerpiece. The backdrop is sophisticated and gritty. “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” is four-and-a-quarter minutes of sheer heaven 😇.

13. Lucille Bogan, “Till the Cows Come Home”

Shave ‘Em Dry: The Best of Lucille Bogan // Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. // 2004

“I got a man I love / I got a man I like / Every time I fuck them mens / I give ‘em the doggone clap 👏.” Lucille Bogan 🤢 🤮 🥴 🥴 🥴! According to the late blues singer, also called Bessie Jackson, “That’s the kind of pussy that they really like.” Bogan was risqué AF – ahead of her time. Nothing about “Till the Cows Come Home”, recorded in 1934, is family-friendly or innocent. The excerpted lyrics are only the surface of the sexually charged lyrics that Bogan sings. “You can fuck my cock or suck my cock / Or leave my cock alone.” What more can you say but ‘Cock-a-doodle-doo 🐓!’ Singing about penis in the 1930s? Savage! She adds in the colorful second verse, “Honey, I piss all night long / You can fuck my cock or suck my cock / Baby until the cows come home.” MOO 🐮! Even after the second verse, she remains brutally honest and filthy. “You know both of my mens / They are tight like that / They got a great big dick just like a baseball bat / Ooh, fuck me.” Wow! She describes herself in the fourth verse as “a bitch from Baltimore,” adding, “I’ve got spunk from them hairs that will shut the door.” In the fifth verse, she’s “got a big broad ass.” In the sixth, she’s all about reciprocation, men: “If you suck my pussy / Baby, I’ll suck your dick / I’ll do it to you, honey, ‘til I make you shit.” Yikes! Lucille Bogan brings ample personality to one of the nastiest songs you’ll ever hear.
