“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 sound of “I Wanna Melt with U” is a vibe, period.  The groove kicks @$$ and takes names, coupled with electrifying keys and synths. 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 🕛 🔥!
