NoMBe, Heels | Wacky Wednesday 💎

On Wacky Wednesday, NoMBe intrigues with “Heels” from his sophomore album, Chromatobia (June 12, 2020). 

Ah, Wacky Wednesday is reserved for an intriguing song or piece of music that’s out of the ordinary – definitely ear catching.  What better way to celebrate hump day, right?  Let’s get wacky on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 with “Heels,” courtesy of NoMBe (Noah McBeth).

“Silk and high fashion / Only the best / She wears Chanel’s finest / Mixed with coffee and sex…” It’s always great when something is refreshing in any context.  From a musical context, an artist who is refreshing makes you excited and reinvigorated about the possibilities of music. NoMBe brings those refreshing vibes to the table with his brand of electric soul, particularly on “Heels,” previously featured on 20 Songs about Apparel: Clothes & Shoes Reloaded.

“Heels” possesses an ‘alternative R&B’ sound, which instantly pleases the ears. Complementing the production, with pop electronic, and 80s elements are soulful vocals by McBeth. Furthermore, the harmonic progression, while simple overall, has a couple of quirks, particularly chromaticism.  Lyrically, sex is loud and clear, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.  “My baby’s she’s blessed / Ready for action / And dressed for revenge,” McBeth sings on the first verse.  On the second, he adds, “I wish we could make up / Maybe undress / Just like mother earth made us / No fabric, no tags.” Damn, it’s getting hot in here! Of course, the best part of the song is the infectious, kinky chorus:

“So, go on put your favorite heels on
So, go no put your favorite heels on
Go put your favorite heels on and walk all over me.”

Yeah, “Heels” would’ve fit perfectly on Steamy Saturday as well, wouldn’t it?
