Josh Levi, Birthday Dance | Midnight Heat

In the 99^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Birthday Dance” by Josh Levi.

“Do your dance.” K! 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 99^th  edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Birthday Dance” by Josh Levi. 

“I don’t know your plans / I don’t know where you’re goin’,” Josh Levi sings in the pre-chorus of “Birthday Dance”, continuing, “All that I know is / I like the way you / Dance, dance, dance.” Interesting! Something tells me this ‘birthday dance’ is not that innocent.  Even though Levi keeps things tasteful on the 11^th track from DISC TWO (SCRATCHED UP), the sexy vibes are inescapable. Also, we know anytime a birthday and love intertwine, sugar honey iced tea is about to go down.

“Sittin’ here on your birthday / Didn’t even know your first name / See your cups goin’ empty / Can I fill you up tonight?” Oh, snap! The key word is fill, which is sexually charged either way you look at it – and it wouldn’t have it any other way! In the second verse, Josh Levi is mesmerized, going on to say, “Let me take you there, I’ll be your prayer.” That prayer, of course, is more scandalous – think Madonna, “Like A Prayer” more so than faith! And of course, the dancing he encourages on the chorus CANNOT be tame! All told, “Birthday Dance” is a short but potent sex song.  It benefits from its smooth, sensual, urban-sounding production, courtesy of Tone.  Furthermore, Levi delivers sensual vocals to match the slick backdrop. When he sings, it’s giving… SEX .
