Queen Naija, “Let’s Talk About It” | Track Review 🎵

R&B artist Queen Naija shines on her first single of 2023, the authentic, honest, and unapologetic ballad, “Let’s Talk About It.”

“Sick of puttin’ all these egotistical, niggas on a pedestal.” Woo, 🎙 Queen Naija comes out swinging on 🎵 “Let’s Talk About It”, her first single of 2023. Clearly, the talented R&B singer is mad as hell at these – wait for it – MEN! Understandable, given the fact that they are, “Always at the club but can’t pick up your son / Fuckin’ all them hoes, can’t even make ‘em cum.” Say what?! Explicit and unapologetic as Naija may be, she has a fair point that we all should be talking about.

The chorus is simple but speaks volumes as Queen Naija reflects on these lame dudes.  Furthermore, in the second verse, she continues her vitriol: “Won’t put a ring on her finger but put a baby up in her / Another child in a broken home ’cause you afraid (Let’s talk about it).” Woo! Besides the real talk, the Queen sounds fantastic, singing authentically with plenty of soul.  While the lingo is edgier than the R&B and soul of old, Naija preserves the sanctity of the genre.  Furthermore, 🎛 Oak gives her a marvelous backdrop to sing over, clearly emulating the R&B and neo-soul sound of old.  Clocking in under three minutes, there’s so much to heart despite the brevity.

Final Thoughts 💭

Queen Naija brings the heat on 🎵 “Let’s Talk About It”.  We could talk about it all day long honestly – this is an honest, truly marvelous R&B single.  Perhaps Naija doesn’t reinvent the wheel – lame dudes have been doing lame things for a while – but man, oh man, does it sound good when she sings about them!
