“I want to be around you every day,” Omar Apollo sings in the chorus of “Worth the Wait”, continuing, “This feeling in my body’s not the same / Are you still down?” Apollo arrives as a featured guest, songwriter, and producer on the Kali Uchis track.  “Worth the Wait” appears as the third track on her 2023 studio album, Red Moon in Venus. Notably, Uchis and Apollo have collaborated many times, yielding bop after bop in the process.  Besides Apollo, “Worth the Wait” was produced by J.LBS, and Vicky Farewell, also credited as writers alongside Uchis.

While it’s great to see who wrote and produced “Worth the Wait,” it is the steaminess – the sex – that draws us into the track. We get some utter freakiness from the star. Uchis sings in the first verse, “The mirror’s on my ceiling / So I can watch you top me / Deep in my knees I got weak / Baby, you know I’m a freak / Wanna get naughty, nasty…” OOH WEE! She joins Apollo singing the chorus the second time, only accentuating those naughty, sensual vibes.  She delivers a second verse, which, interestingly, focuses on the depth of love.  Notably, she asserts, “Quit tellin’ me you wanna put a baby in me / If your affection for me’s truly only skin-deep / I don’t wanna end up just another broken family.” Real talk, Kali! So, this slick, alternative R&B track not only gives lit sex but also proceeds with caution as far as the baby making itself is concerned.  The Midnight Heat is in full blast – NO CAP!
