“Your body on inferno, inferno, your mind on my, my, my / But you deserve to let go, to let go, to let yourself unwind…” The 2020s has been extraordinarily quiet for 🏆 Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter, 🎙 Miguel.  In fact, the last album he released was his gold certified fourth studio album, 💿 War & Leisure in December 2017.  Supposedly, a new album is in the works, but until then, fans settle for an enjoyable, well-rounded, and sexy single, 🎵 “Give It To Me.”

 

Miguel, Give It To Me [📷: ByStorm Entertainment / RCA]“Give It To Me” runs four minutes and change 🪙, and it’s totally worth every second! The record was penned by Miguel and 🎼✍ 🎛 Scoop DeVille, who also produces. It commences with an intriguing intro that is moody and features an unsettled sound.  Listening initially, it is hard to tell what direction Miguel is going. Soon enough, however, the singer’s dynamic, easily recognizable voice takes over.  Instrumentally, the tone of the drums and the use of distorted guitar are #winning.  This gives “Give It To Me,” which is about S-E-X, a fitting raw, animalistic sound.  There are many memorable lyrics including  “You lit, I’m lit, we lit / And I’m ready to fly” in the pre-chorus, as well as the catchy chorus, where Miguel asserts, “Yeah, I like what you got, ‘cause I like what you got / I like what you got, would you give it to me?” Another selling point is the excellent contrast that occurs in the bridge, which includes vocoder effects.  All told, the Miguel fans want a new album, like, 🔜.  Until then, 🎵 “Give It To Me” more than suffices – it’s worth adding to the listening rotation.
