Kehlani, F&MU | Steamy Saturday 💎

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Kehani exemplifies Steamy Saturday, with “F&MU,” which appears on her 2020 sophomore album.

Steamy Saturday features songs where the temperature is hot, and we’re not talking about Celsius or Fahrenheit.  Songs appearing on this day are seductive; sensual; sexy. This week, May 16, 2020, like May 2, 2020 and May 9, 2020, we keep it R&B, but move beyond ‘coffee’ and opt for “F&MU”, courtesy of Kehlani and her 2020 sophomore album, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t.

“We both know it’s never really goodbye / I swear it’s like we do this all the time, yeah / That shit be turnin’ me on, I cannot lie, lie…” “F&MU,” is characterized by its brevity. Even so, that’s ample time for Kehlani to be potent about love, SEX, and relationships.  As the aforementioned lyrics suggests, the relationship has its fair share of issues, but ultimately, makeup sex atones.  If you didn’t figure out what the meaning of the title, well, it’s clear AF on the chorus:

“We fuck and make up like it’s Maybelline
We do petty things
Then mess up the sheets, yeah
You be runnin’ back once we let it go
I already know
Did it time before (Oh).”

Sure, it’s an oversimplification to suggest that good sex fixes things, but, in the case of “F&MU,” it’s quite entertaining to hear Kehlani make the assertion.  The second verse has its fair share of colorful lyrics, whether it’s the opening “Damn, it’s good, I might have to piss you off,” or “Why I gotta fuck you up to make you fuck like that.” Wow! “F&MU” is definitely indicative of what a Steamy Saturday is all about.
