Ravyn Lenae, Skin Tight | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 8^th edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2023), we explore the sexy vibes behind “Skin Tight” by Ravyn Lenae. 

“If I can’t call you, I won’t shake it / Even though you should leave me for good” 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. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hi†, ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 8^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the sexy vibes behind, 🎵 “Skin Tight” by 🎙 Ravyn Lenae. 

“Hope you understand we won’t go as planned / Hold me while you can, hold me while you can.” First and foremost, 🎵 “Skin Tight” by 🎙 Ravyn Lenae sounds incredibly sexy and steamy.  There are clear romantic vibes in play despite the fact that there isn’t a relationship at all, or the relationship has ended – interpret it how you will.  The concept is interesting, something that the music, produced by featured artist, 🎙 Steven Lacy, reflects. Lenae continues singing in the chorus, “I’ll still be your friend, you’ll come back again / Hold me while you can, hold me while you can.”

Lacy appears for the first time vocally in the first verse, singing the titular lyric.  Here, there is clearly a bond of some sort, even if it is not a relationship. “Hold me know, skintight,” he sings, complimenting her. Later, within the same verse, Lenae ponders the state of what they are or have, singing, “Who could’ve thought? It’s not black or white / Now every time that I tug, you bite / Ever I call, will you spend the night?” It’s intriguing because the physical connection is lit. In the second verse, which is purely Lenae, she clearly desires him, though sends conflicting messages: “I care for you, no one else baby,” following up with, “You deserve someone new.” Notably, this highlight from 💿 HYPNOS caught my ear via a Spotify playlist: Make Out Jams. Is 🎵 “Skin Tight” this the perfect make out jam? With its lyrics, sweet vocals (Lenae and Lacy), and lush instrumental, including warm guitar, the answer is a resounding YES!
