Coco Jones, ICU | Midnight Heat

In the 9^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “ICU” by Coco Jones. 

“You’ve got a feeling, a soul, that I need in my life.” 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 steamy, sometimes unapologetic records often raise both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 9^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “ICU” by Coco Jones.

“Somethin’ ‘bout your hands on my body / Feels better than any man I ever had.” Ooh-la-la, Coco Jones! On “ICU”, the heat – sexual heat that is – is turned all the way up on high! The R&B singer is feeling this guy something fierce. Although they make an agreement to be friends, the attraction appears to be too much to not be more, or, perhaps, live. In the second verse of this lush DJ Camper production, she sings, “Find myself readin’ your comments again / And then we end up in each other’s heads.”

In chorus, Coco Jones asserts, in sultry fashion, “Maybe I-I-I-I-I, I need you / I breathe you, turnin’ my heart blue, ooh, ooh.” By the end of this gorgeous highlight from her 2022 album,  What I Didn’t Tell You, Jones realizes, “Baby, my life’s just off without you / Maybe you’re worth it all to me, baby.” “ICU” captures a bit of everything. It is steamy at times, but never crosses the line.  Beyond the heat, however, Jones’ health seems to be in jeopardy due to matters of the heart.
