In the 70th edition of Midnight Heat π π₯ (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind βSlow Danceβ by John Legend.Β
βWe can start another fight / We can argue and fuss all night / But I propose that we go to the floor / And we slow dance.β Ah, bring on Midnight Heat π π₯! Wait β it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot π₯΅ 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 $hiβ , ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 70th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, π΅ βSlow Danceβ by π John Legend.
βCan we reignite the flame / βCause things just ainβt the sameβ¦β π΅ βSlow Danceβ marks Β a top tier highlight from πΏ Once Again, the 2006, favorably reviewed, platinum certified album by π Academy and Grammy award winning musician π John Legend. βSlow Danceβ finds Legend and co-producer π will.i.am (Will Adams) sampling π The Ice Men (π΅ βMy Girl (Sheβs a Fox)β). The 1966 record provides Legend with the type of soulful backdrop and inspiration that he thrives on, PERIOD. Legend has always sounded like a throwback, hence why he excelled in the aughts when neo-soul remained a popular movement in R&B.
On the sensual ballad, Legendβs voice is equal parts sophisticated and gritty. Here, Legend screams (not literally) putting everything else aside: βI propose that we go to the floor / And we slow dance.β Old school romance is the modus operandi on this smooth joint penned by Legend, Adams, πΌ β Estelle (best known for her π Grammy-winning hit, π΅ βAmerican Boyβ), Mike Lewis, and Poindexter. Honestly, the chorus says it all:
βTonight, I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man, yeah?
Tonight, I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move, yeah.β
Ah, that π΅ βSlow Danceβ by John Legend is indeed sweet!
