Spilata, The Cuntiest | Song Review

Spilata utterly slays and serves C U Next Tuesday with his bold, fearless, irresistibly delicious, and unapologetic jazz single, “The Cuntiest.”

[nx_pullquote]“I’m the cuntiest / And when it comes to jazz, I’m the one to this.”[/nx_pullquote] Hold on a minute, Spilata.  I’m still gagged that you uttered C U Next Tuesday and added an -iest to it! Cuntiest? Wow! From the jump, Spilata is fearless as fuck on “The Cuntiest”, which he wrote and produced himself. Still, he’s quite sophisticated with his slick mouth: “The dandiest, the classiest, the fanciest / The only nonchalantly bon vivant to this…” Accompanied by Jon Thomas (piano), Liany Mateo (bass), and Charles Goold (drums), Spilata rejuvenates jazz for a brand-new generation of listeners.

The combo is locked-in, ‘in the pocket,’ accompanying Spilata show exhibits incredible musicianship.  He sings with ease yet packs a mean punch with every eyebrow-raising lyric.  The songwriting is poetic, in a shocking, dare I say, cunty sort of way, over the course of four verses. “I’m the cuntiest / The only Primadonna, I’m upfront with this,” he asserts in the second verse, and continues, “The business and the show, I’m the sum to this / So watch me while I blow and make you come to this.” Come, or, cum… Other standout moments include “The whole enchilada, I’m the fun to this / So many often try, but darling they’re too cis.” He’s not lying there! The chorus is also a whole vibe:

“I’m the cuntiest

The stuntiest

The one to this

The sum to this

That’s why you come to this

I’m the cuntiest.”

PERIOD! Spilata ate and left no crumbs on “The Cuntiest”.  For anyone skeptical about how fresh or innovative jazz music is in the 2020s, look no further than this bold, daring, and unapologetic bop.
