Sometimes, cool, sexy things come in small packages.  For R&B artist 🎙 Xavier Omär, his song 🎵 “want/need” doesn’t even run two minutes long.  That’s not a lot of song, but it is sufficient for the sexual vibes he captures. This brief gem from his 2020 album, 💿 if You Feel, superbly produced by 🎛 Iophiile, gets a lift from a 1996 Dru Hill sample, 🎵 “Tell Me”.  This is a prime example where the sample is in plain sight, and it works absolutely fabulously.  Much of the chorus is lifted directly from Dru Hill, forming the core of the theme (“Tell me what you want / Tell what you need”).  In the first iteration, Omär fittingly shouts outs the “90 babies.”

Of course, Xavier puts in his most work in the sole verse of “want/need.”  That work of course involves ‘doing the do,’ if you catch my drift 😈.  “Switch positions and listen you breathin’ a little different, your body always gon’ tell me,” Omär asserts at one point.  God is NOT pleased later as he states, “It’s Sunday mornin’ and we messed around and miss the service / And still tryna find wherever your shirt is.” Holy hell, Xavier! “God bless them braids, eyes rollin’, glazed / And we can run it back, if the feelin’ emerges…” WOO! To reiterate, cool, sex things come in small packages and this joint right here, 🎵 “want/need” is a surefire vibe, perfect for S meets E, then they X 😈!!!
