Ascending pop/R&B artist Chlöe and ascending rapper, Latto, join forces for an enjoyable, incredible sexy single, “For the Night.”
“You can leave your guard at the door / And let me love you for the night.” Woo! Now that’s a quote right there! Question: What happens when Chlöe and
Latto collaborate on a song? The answer: M-A-G-I-C! Both ascending talents join forces on the enjoyable, sexy single,
“For the Night”, which is produced by
London On Da Track (who receives his traditional shoutout) as well as
Omer Fedi,
Boobie, and apparently, others.
Starting with the production, “For the Night” has a sweet sound. It’s modern – sounding very 2022 – yet it also hearkens back to the hip-hop-infused, contemporary R&B and pop of old. The musical inspiration is there for both Chlöe (melodically) and Latto (un-pitched, with her rhymes). As is often the case with Chlöe’s music, and pop/R&B in general, sex plays a sizeable role. “And you crave those long nights with me,” Chlöe sings in the chorus. The verses feature rhythmic melodic lines that a filled with sharp, ear-catching lyrics, particularly the second verse: “You and your mouth, cashing checks that you know gonna bounce / You say you promise and promise, you’ll figure it out / But I cannot wait, you’re teasing me, I back down.” As for Latto, she’s true to self, asserting, “You need a bitch, know what to do with you,” later adding, “I’m the only one who know everything you like / You can have this for the night or for your life.”
Final Thoughts 
All in all, Chlöe and Latto put in work on
“For the Night”. Arguably, “For the Night” has a strong case as the best single Chlöe has released to date. In the case of Latto, it doesn’t eclipse the
“Big Energy” (that BDE), but it’s a welcome addition to her growing collection. It’s fun, memorable, and sexy.
