“Slow and slippery, groovy / If we bathe in each other’s hips / In other words, get close enough to the stick / And I’ll melt with you.” Ooh, wee! Prince was a freak… at least, prior to Musicology (2004). Another pristine example, that occurs prior: “Don’t look now, but there’s a river of blood / You must have been a virgin / What am I guilt of?” Holy shiitake mushrooms ! On his 1992 LP, Love Symbol, Prince & The New Power Generation asserted, “I Wanna Melt with U”. The melting, of course, is sexual, sexual, and more S-E-X-U-A-L! Prince doesn’t try to be too discreet if we’re being honest .

“And I’m thinking about the way that you kiss

… And my lips just drip

And then the hips just whip and whip and

(I wanna melt with you).”

The record is a blend of dance, funk, pop, and the New Jack Swing brand of R&B prevalent at the time. Furthermore, Prince exudes personality. His vocals are naughty, playful, and sexy. In the breakdown section, he asserts, “Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog.” Dayummm – more like WOOF, WOOF ! Obviously, sex is great fuel for the fire, and he channels it into the melodies. Underrated in the Prince catalog, “I Wanna Melt with U” is fun and sexy to the nth degree, generating ample Midnight Heat !
