Chris Grey, MAKEUP [๐Ÿ“ท: Chris Grey]โ€œYour black dress falls at my doorโ€ฆโ€ Yikes โ€“ itโ€™s gettinโ€™ hot ๐Ÿฅต in here! The opening lyric from ๐ŸŽต โ€œMAKEUPโ€, a sexy, 2023 song from Toronto, Ontario singer ๐ŸŽ™ Chris Grey makes it clear that clothes will be removed โ€“ theyโ€™re coming off, baby! โ€œMAKEUPโ€ is a dark number, set in a minor key.ย  Grey is transparent regarding the hellishness. โ€œOh, weโ€™re getting close but it ainโ€™t close enough / Far from God โœ๏ธ, oh so poised by lust ๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿ‘,โ€ he sings in the pre-chorus, continuing, โ€œDonโ€™t be afraid of what we have become / Down below thereโ€™s a spot saved for us.โ€ So, even if theyโ€™re experiencing heaven under the sheets, theyโ€™re ultimately damned to hell ๐Ÿ˜ˆ. Ooh-wee!

Bitmoji ImageThroughout the course of this sensual number, Chris Grey sounds amazing.ย  He perfectly captures the naughtiness of the lyrics. โ€œYou can let your makeup ruin my sheets / You can let your nails dig into me,โ€ he sings in the awesome chorus that suggests happenings that arenโ€™t the least bit family friendly or safe for work.ย  Furthermore, Grey adds, โ€œGirl I love the taste of your jealousy / Leave it on my tongue youโ€™re my ecstasy / The high reminds me of you…โ€ Besides terrific singing and memorable songwriting (Grey and ๐ŸŽผ โœ Mikalyn Hay), the music โ€“ the production (Grey) โ€“ is sweet too, in a hellish ๐Ÿ˜ˆ sort of way. If you havenโ€™t heard ๐ŸŽต โ€œMAKEUPโ€, youโ€™re totally missing out.
