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 Steamy Saturday, May 2, 2020, we relied on Grammy-winning R&B artist Kelly Rowland to provide us with some naughtiness via “Coffee”. For the May 9, 2020 edition of Steamy Saturday, we’re also going to partake of coffee, albeit from Miguel via his risqué, sexed-up 2015 album, WILDHEART.

Miguel sexes very well…lyrically speaking.  The man has a voice with the ability to woo women and make men jealous of his game.  “Coffee” marks one of the sexiest moments from WILDHEART, with little to do with Folgers, Maxwell House, or Starbucks. Over the course of “Coffee,” he covers both the emotional and physical relationship.  While he balances, not making “Coffee” merely carnal, it ends up being carnal – shocking! The innuendo is poetic, particularly when he sings, “Wordplay, turns into gunplay / And gunplay turns into pillow talk / and pillow talk turns into sweet dreams / Sweet dreams turns into coffee in the morning.” The reference to “coffee in the morning” suggests a night of play and perhaps, morning sex as well.  The best line: “Old souls we found a new religion / Now I’m swimming in that sin, that’s baptism.”

As I stated last week, Miguel’s “Coffee” is brewed a bit stronger and more potent, Kelly’s.  It’s definitely indicative of what those Steamy Saturdays are all about. Do we need to spell it out for you? Okay: S-E-X.
