Nessa Barrett, PORNSTAR | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 95^th edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “PORNSTAR” by Nessa Barrett. 

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. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 95^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “PORNSTAR” by Nessa Barrett.

“I wanna know what you’d do to me / I wanna put you on the tape.” Damn, Nessa Barrett! There is an emphasis on D-O as in F-U-C-K! The sex-positivity is lit on “PORNSTAR”, the second track from her 2024 album, AFTERCARE.  Barrett wants her partner to perform fiercely, to say the least. Characterizing them as a star, in the pre-chorus, she asserts, “Fuck me all night /… Show me who you are.” Yes, the sex is ‘kind of a big deal’ but Nessa hints at desiring more than physical pleasure.  Still, when the chorus emphasizes a prolonged pronunciation of pornstar, the sexual desire is undeniable. Barrett, Jackson Lee Morgan, CJ Baran, Arthur Besna, and Madi Yanofsky penned “PORNSTAR.” Baran and Besna produced.

The songwriting isn’t deep – an understatement.  In the second verse, Barrett sings, “I wanna hear you talking dirty / I wanna see it on your face / I wanna feel you put the work in / I wanna watch you entertain.” Sounds like moaning and an intense O-face to me.  Audio and visuals are key! Even as invested as Barrett is regarding desire and intimacy, she sings cooly, barely breaking a sweat. Fittingly, Baran and Besna’s production encourages a highly sensual experience.  The instrumental, like Barrett’s vocals, is coolly energetic. The rhythmic bass line is one of the best instrumental features. There have been far more risqué sex songs than “PORNSTAR”, but Barrett gets her point across ‘loud and clear.’
