Innuendo? More like full-on sexual vibes! Welcome to After Dark 🕛 🌃, a column featuring songs that are best suited for nighttime, specifically, the bedroom.  Many of the records featured here raise eyebrows, as well as the temperature! These After Dark tunes focus on the universal three-letter word:  SEX. The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  In the 62nd edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, 🎵 “Sex Memories” by 🎙 Chris Brown featuring 🎙 Ella Mai.


Theme & Lyrics  

“You know I need that ass a lot when we beefin’ / I know you want it and don’t even gotta pretend.” Hmm, that’s interesting, 🎙 Chris Brown.  So, basically, even if he and his lady are arguing, sex comes into play.  I guess 🎙 ZAYN put it best in 🎵 “PILLOWTALK” with the “fucking and fighting,” lyric. “She bend it over, put her hands down on her ankles / Yeah, that’s the type of shit I like, yeah.” Of course, it is, Chris Brown.  We know you’re a bad boy and songs that encompass the female anatomy and sex – well – they’re your jam.  In the case of his 2022 album, 💿 Breezy, the ninth track, 🎵 “Sex Memories”, is on brand for Breezy.

There’s no doubt that sex isn’t the modus operandi. Brown is horny, horny, horny, honey! “Put them legs up in the sky,” he sings in the pre-chorus, continuing, “Feel like you gon’ fly, like we fuckin’ on a cloud / Sextin’ to me, bring me right to my knees.” Man, oh, man! Of course, the ultimate goal are those “sex memories” he mentions during the chorus.  “When you look at the bed, you think of me.” Da-yum! Fello 🏆 Grammy winner, 🎙 Ella Mai delivers the second verse, also sexed-up: “‘Cause I’ll flip it up / While you take it down / In the end, boy, you gonna want another round.” Also, it’s worth noting that during the third verse, Brown states, “I have the camera, you know it set the mood, yeah,” with Mai adding, “let’s make a movie.” Wow! “Sex Memories” indeed!


Final Thoughts 💭 

Bitmoji ImageAll in all, “Sex memories’ is enjoyable, even if the sex isn’t, um, transcendent.  Nonetheless, Chris Brown excels at matters of the bedroom, and Ella Mai is the perfect collaborator.  Throw in slick production by 🎛 The Audibles and this is an After Dark 🕛 🌃 joint you’ll have on replay!
