Al Calderon, make me wanna | Song Review

The handsome and talented Al Calderon brings the heat, once more, on his short but sweet single, “make me wanna.”

Uh-oh, sounds like there are some issues! Something that’s NOT an issue is Al Calderon! Ooh-wee, child! Al Calderon es increíblemente guapo y talentoso. PERIODT! The gay actor and singer-songwriter returned with another bop, “make me wanna.” Looking at Al, as well as the music video (or any of his music videos, namely “come get it”), he certainly makes me, and others, wanna do naughty things… Calderon composed “make me wanna” alongside producer Joseph Tilly.

“Make me wanna” shines from the get-go.  The chill, smooth guitar is everything.  The rhythmic beat is pretty awesome, too! The star of the show is… Al Calderon! His vocals are rhythmic, smooth, and all the things! The melodies are striking – tuneful. A fabulous pre-chorus sets up the crème de la crème, the chorus. During the chorus, Al’s falsetto is commanding and ripe, though he never forces things.

“Don’t know what I was thinking

I tried to work with you

But it got too complicated

(You make me wanna)

Switch up

My mind

I’m scared

I might

I used to say I would never change

But you make me wanna.”

The Spanish verse, a trademark of his music, is fire.  Like the English-exclusive verse, it’s rhythmic, smooth, tuneful, and filled with swagger.

“Me cago en la madre, Tú y yo no somos iguales. Papi, tú no eres mi jevo. Suena mi canción, ya llegó. Qué vergüenza que no me lo mamas Después de que me pichara. Me cambió la mente, Intentar morderme como una serpiente.”

“Damn it all, You and I aren’t the same. Baby, you’re not my man. My song is playing—it’s here. It’s a shame you won’t go down on me After you blew me off. You changed my mind, Trying to bite me like a snake.”

All told, “make me wanna” is a short but utterly sweet pop bop from Al Calderon.  The best way to describe this well-performed, well-written, and well-produced track is a VIBE! The song speaks for itself!
