In the 50th edition of Midnight Heat
(2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Deeper” by Kiana Ledé.
“It’s paradise once you’re inside.” Ooh-la-la ! 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 50th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind,
“Deeper” by
Kiana Ledé.
Is there anything more steamy, more titillating than a sex ballad? No, of course not, and the talented, totally underrated
Kiana Ledé serves up a great one with
“Deeper”. “Deeper” arrived in advance of Ledé’s 2023 sophomore album,
Grudges. Even though the sensual vibes are firmly planted, “Deeper” is indeed deeper, or at least, classier, than one might expect. For example, early on, Ledé asserts, “I’m cravin’ your devotion / Gave you the key and that’s rare / ‘Cause I don’t just let anyone in.” That’s mic drop worthy!
The dedication and romance is a sizable part of the charm and excellence of “Deeper,” because clearly there is a deeper connection between two people. Lyrics like, “Don’t be scared, baby, I’m gon’ make it worth your while / Come and kiss my flaws, seduce my mind / Hope you got stamina for life” are sexy because they are authentic and meaningful. Likewise, moments like “My walls need breakin’ /… Can you get me naked? /… ‘Cause there’s a part of me they don’t get to see” is great food for thought. Adding to the allure of
“Deeper” are top-notch vocals by Ledé, and stellar production work (lots of cooks in the kitchen, btw).
