TEEKS, My Boy | Song Review

Smoking-hot and talented Māori soul singer-songwriter TEEKS delivers a sensual bop for the ages with “My Boy.” 

 

Aww, there’s nothing better than a great MLM (men loving men) song!  Dashing, extremely talented Māori soul artist TEEKS (Te Karehana Toi) gives us a delectable, sensual bop with “My Boy”. In an Instagram post, he opens up about his sexuality, asserting thoughtfully, “Coming out publicly was never something I felt was important. My sense of identity comes from a culture rich in origin stories, lineage, connection to land and spirit.”  In “My Boy,” his preference is no secret, characterizing his boy as not just a snack, but the whole damn meal.  A “Body like Hercules”? Yes, please! And did you peep that single cover art… that man is smoking hot! “My Boy” was written by TEEKS, Sam Nakamura, M Basa, Josh Fountain, and Terence O’connor.  Fountain, O’connor, and Vincent Pham produced it.

From the get-go, “My Boy” is the sugar honey iced tea. Not only does TEEKS characterize him as a masterpiece, but the performance, production, songwriting, and the whole shebang are giving masterpiece, too! TEEKS’ beautiful, distinct, soulful voice is like sex on the track. Just listening to him is more than enough to get you hot and bothered – in the mood to do naughty, nasty things. TEEK’s instrument is tailor-made for this ode to perfection, where “Those eyes / Cut me like a razor,” and he encourages the object of his affection to “Come open up on me / A new possibility / I’ll be your supplier / If you like the way it feels.” Oh, snap!  The production also screams S Meets E, and then they X.  It’s sleek, mind you, but it hearkens back to the soul of old.  That is refreshing: warm keys, chill guitar, anchored by a robust bass line and simple yet potent groove that’s locked in. Oh, and we get some strings, too, upping the ante! “My Boy” is nothing short of delightful.  The music speaks for itself.
