Marsha Ambrosius, Wet | Midnight Heat

In the 28th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Wet” by Marsha Ambrosius.

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. These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 28^th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Wet” by Marsha Ambrosius.

“On your loving I be overdosing / You make my heart stop / From cutting it close and / Baby, you were chosen.” Don’t die on us, Marsha Ambrosius! Ambrosius is a pro at delivering sex songs. “Wet”, the seventh track from her 2024 album, CASABLANCO, is no exception.  This near-four-and-a-half-minute ballad features a shit-ton of songwriters.  Why? Notably, it samples four songs: “In The Rain” by The Dramatics, “Inside My Love” by Minnie Riperton, “Method Man” by Wu-Tang Clan, and “Moody’s Mood for Love (vocal version)” by James Moody featuring Eddie Jefferson. Ambrosius produced “Wet” alongside Dr. Dre, Focus…, and Erik “Blu2th” Griggs.  Even with ample cooks in the kitchen, the resulting S-E-X song is epic.

“Ocean flow below my legs / Swim in it, go diving inside…” Holy shit, Marsha! As always, she serves up sexy, smooth vocals.  It is easy to buy what she sells. After all, we all enjoy pleasure at some point . Once the beat enters the mix, it is hard-hitting and soulful, anchoring the naughty lyrics and soulful backdrop.  One of the best moments is the full-length chorus, which appears at the end of “Wet”:

“You can see inside me

Will you come inside me?

Do you wanna ride

Inside my love?

You can see inside me

Will you come inside me?

Do you wanna ride

Inside my love?”

Something tells me that come should be spelled differently in this context.  Also, ride, huh? When the song is entitled “Wet”, and it comes from a female perspective, we know ‘what it is.’ “Kiss on this and make it dance / Take it, baby, giving you permission with persistence.” We’ll leave it at that!
