Kelly Rowland, Coffee | Steamy Saturday

Grammy-winning R&B artist Kelly Rowland exemplifies Steamy Saturday, with the short, but sexy single, “Coffee.”  

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.  For Saturday, May 2, 2020, we rely on Grammy-winning R&B artist Kelly Rowland to provide us with some naughtiness via “Coffee”.

“Coffee” checks off many of the expected boxes for a Kelly Rowland song without moving the needle or swinging the pendulum. Brief, Rowland gets her point across – SEX.  She sings quite well, showcasing her sexy, seductive tone, even if the performance isn’t game changing. Still, that calm, cool, and collected sexy R&B vibe is intact, amplified by an idiomatic backdrop produced by Kosine, heavy on keyboards and synths.  Maybe the best part are those layered vocals.

But y’all are here for sex, it being Steamy Saturday, so, let’s talk about sex – rather – let’s talk about the lyrics, which are sexually-charged. “Coffee and sex in the mornin’” is the first line that Kelly serves up, so, the cards are revealed from the start.  Later, moments like “They say morning wood do a body good, babe / Clearly you agreed, don’t be tryna leave” confirm her steamy, sexual intentions.  While I would argue Miguel’s “Coffee” from 2015 is brewed a bit stronger and more potent, Kelly’s own is still very much indicative of what those Steamy Saturdays are all about.
