Theme & Lyrics  

“I got them cakes, baked, taste great / boulangerie / I got eclairs, for them players, In my boulangerie.” Wow, Hamid J.! To quote Joe Jonas ( DNCE) ala “Cake By the Ocean” that sounds “fucking delicious.” I mean, totally sounds like a boulangerie I’d enjoy visiting… . Just in case you wondered, a boulangerie is “a bakery that specializes in bread, especially French-style breads” according to Merriam-Webster. That said, I highly doubt that the LGBTQ Iran originating, Germany raised, Los Angeles based musician is talking about edible cakes on his 2021 single, “Boulangerie”…

The emerging, dashing musician is serving up an enticing loaf of sexual innuendo. With slick production propelling his easygoing tenor vocals, Hamid J is thinking with the love below as opposed to filling his belly with sweets. “You been staring at me all night long / Sipping your drink with a smile that keeps a boy turned on,” he sings on the first verse. Yeah, that has nothing to do with a bakery – or at least THAT kind of bakery . Later, in the second verse, he asserts, “No need to play it coy or shy / So, come on, take what’s urs.” Oh,  sugar honey iced tea!

Beyond the verses, there are chorus sections that amplify the naughtiness, including the excerpted chorus above.  In the pre-chorus, Hamid encourages him to “Take that first step and stumble up on me.” Ooh-la-la! On the indirect chorus, he sings, “I know what you want, you know I got it boy / The way you staring at my derrière / I promise all it takes, one bite you know for sure…” Daaayum!!! Basically, the big takeaway is, Hamid is read for ‘some’ and by some, I mean the universal three-letter-word regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual preference!

Final Thoughts  

Is “Boulangerie” unapologetically gay? Child Yaaassss! That said, you don’t have to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community to dig this one.  I mean, anyone who enjoys a titillating, sex-positive song will be onboard and totally turned on by this one. A boulangerie in the hands of the handsome, talented Hamid J is something else, and I’m totally here for it!
