Jeangu Macrooy, Worship | Midnight Heat

In the 101st edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Worship” by Jeangu Macrooy.

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. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 101^st edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Worship” by Jeangu Macrooy.

“The flesh I’m made of, oh, boy, it’s a temple.” Amen ! “So now I’ve let you in, show your devotion /… and if you’re looking for a blessing…” In the hands of Surinamese, Netherlands-based R&B singer/songwriter Jeangu Macrooy, worship is far more fun than church.  THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! The most devout Christians might disagree and cry foul – blasphemy! Still, when S-E-X is involved, there are plenty of believers who’d be passionate about his flesh, too… “Worship” is the eighth track on Macrooy’s 2022 album, Summer Moon. This steamy sex track ‘hits it’ satisfactorily, with the blessing being a marvelous, passionate performance by Macrooy.  Macrooy penned “Worship” alongside producer Bud Kolk.  Kolk puts in serious work behind the boards, giving Jeangu the perfect backdrop to sing upon.  With a rhythm section and warm brass, before the final chorus, there is a superb instrumental break.

“Heaven is a place on Earth / And it’s right here in this room,” Macrooy sings with expressive, buttery smooth vocals.  Predictably, that heaven takes place in the bed, with a fine man (we assume he’s fine) – let the church say YAASS! Macrooy embraces spiritual references, transforming them into unholy sex speak, and we’re here for it .  The chorus marks the peak of the service, as he implores his boyfriend, “I need you to worship my body / Worship my body.” And who wouldn’t? Check out the cover art for the single, and Mr. Macrooy is hot ! Do you know what else is hot? When Macrooy shows off his ripe falsetto, further titillating us on this delicious, queer sex song! Whether you are gay, straight, bi, or otherwise, “Worship” is sure to get you hot and bothered and in the mood for… .
