It is Steamy Saturday time! Steamy Saturday features songs where the temperature is hot, and we’re not talking about Celsius or Fahrenheit.  Songs appearing on this day are seductive; sensual; sexy. This week, May 30, 2020 we enlist Canadian-bred, Los Angeles-based musician Black Atlass (Alex Fleming) to steam things up with “Night After Night” which appears on his third studio album, Dream Awake (2020).

“If I can make you love me again / I’ll keep the summertime on your skin / You speedin’ past all our exes / I don’t wanna end up like them.” On “Night After Night” the vibe of Dream Awake continues to pop, with sleek production work courtesy of DANNYBOYSTYLES and Oligee. The record brilliantly uses an electronic-based backdrop (keyboards, synths, programming), while remaining idiomatic of R&B, particularly that stellar Canadian R&B sound. Fleming is consistent, building a love-driven, sensual script, particularly as he ‘brings it on home’ on the chorus.

“My woman
I’ll be your man
And baby I’ll give you my life in your hands
I know you wanna feel alive, don’t you?
Night after night (Night after night)
Night after night (Night after night).”

Sure, we’ve had more overt cuts grace Steamy Saturday, but Black Atlass definitely captures the steaminess in voice alone 😉.
