Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hi†, ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 81st edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, 🎵Desire” by 🎙 Cleo Sol

Cleo Sol, Gold [📷: Forever Living Originals]Desire can be totally explicit, in all its lustfulness.  When you want something, sexually, it can make you say lots of crazy, totally NSFW stuff. In the case of British R&B singer/songwriter 🎙 Cleo Sol, her brand of desire on 🎵 “Desire” is incredibly classy.  Sure, there is an air of suggestiveness, but Sol brings the midnight heat with a sense of utter refinement. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when the sound of the record encompasses jazzy, neo-soul as opposed to trunk-rattling 808s.  Yes, the desire is there, but it’s nuanced to the nth degree. Desire sans perspiration!

You could characterize it as sophisticated seduction, or something alongside those lines.  Lyrically, Cleo speaks about what he has done for her.  “Like a lullaby, you soothed my mind,” she asserts in verse one, adding, “You helped me smile, opened my eyes.” Aww 🥰, how sweet! In the second verse, she sings, “When it’s you and I, there is no time / Together we vibrate high.” Again, it’s given aww 🥰! In the pre-chorus, Sol tells us “I’m in a plastic world with you / But it’s your lovin’ that makes me feel real.” And, of course, last but not least, the chorus, where “Desire, I wonder if you’ll stay by my side.” All told, 🎵 “Desire” is a safe for work, sensual highlight from Sol’s 2023 LP, 💿 Gold. Again, the midnight heat is classier on this joint!
