Camiele’s Best of Sexy Music of 2011
4. Maddslinky feat. Tawiah – Further Away
I’m always on the hunt for gorgeous broken beats. Maddslinky didn’t disappoint and even aroused to the point of needing to reach out and touch someone… while I was at work – whoops!
3. Marsha Ambrosius – Late Nights and Early Mornings
Leave it to The Songstress to create a track that does naughty things to certain parts of my anatomy. If you don’t know, Marsha is the teardropped voice from Floetry that penned such bedtime classics as Say Yes, Getting Late, and Losing my Appetite.
With her solo effort Late Nights and Early Mornings, she doesn’t stray far from her sensual roots and churns out a sexy lullaby that any lover would be ready to go to bed to.
Among all the songs that have worked their way into my psyche, there are two full-length albums that just need to be on this list.
The first half doesn’t do anything for me, except for song 8 that makes me wanna chill out, smoke cigarettes and make out with women.
Second half of songs fits the sexy tone much better IMO. Raphael Saddiq sounds really great. Song 3 works very well too.
@Rodrigo, Well, I suppose with the first half, it’s all a matter of taste. There’s something about the tone of voice with a song, or the way a voice wraps around the music that touches me in way that goes far beyond just “liking” a song, you know?
But, yes. That second half I know was kind of on that “make or break” tip…”make” slow love or “break” the damn bed…HaHa.
Soo…you didn’t like the DBSK entry :P
@Camiele, Or matter of mood too for who listens to it.
Second half, I agree with you. Which song would you break the bed to?
DBSK did nothing for me. Maybe it could have been replaced with something else. I think your mind could work something wicked. :P
@Rodrigo, HaHa. I think you may have gotten caught up in the video…which was ridiculous and didn’t fit the song at all…but anyway :P
Well…breaking the bed would have to go to Marsha…every. single. time. But, Meshell and Saadiq can do some wonderful things to set the mood and keep it moving. That’s why they’ve got the honour of having their entire albums get a shout-out — they’re both invitations for some good stuff ;)
Buika (she really is in La Piel Que Habito), her track makes me sad more than anything LOL I don’t think I’ve thought about sexy music for a while – mainly because I’ve been listening to a lot of music in languages that I don’t understand, and whatever I think it’s sexy turns out to be a heartbreak song or something when I translate haha – like Bibi’s The Wrong Side of the Moon [1].
But other than that, I haven’t thought of “put you in the mood” music with the latest releases… since… probably 2006 or 2007 or something. Andrea Echeverri’s Quedate always get me – the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but Echeverri’s instrumentation and delivery is that sweet sexy thing. Then there’s Freezepop’s Swimming Pool… okay, and the oldie of Andres Cabas’ Tu Boca. LOL
@amy, Yes. That’s where I heard this song first. I always look out for Buika’s music, so when I saw that she was part of the soundtrack I kinda went ape shit! HaHa. Most of her songs are heartbreaking, I’ll admit — or either incredibly ferocious. But it’s that voice that just does it to me. Her 2009 album La Nina en Fuego…TOO amazing.
I keep wanting to check out Ms. Echeverri ever since I read your article about her. She sounds exciting. And I’ve heard of Freezpop but know nothing about them…just that the name is too amazing for words! Thanks for the suggestions :)
@Camiele, Echeverri has been great for years since her Aterciopelados days. Check her out.
Also, Amy reminded me of Morenamia from Miguel Bosé for some reason, lol.
@Rodrigo, Morenamia…that sounds interesting. I feel like I might like that ;-)
@Rodrigo, I don’t want to say I’m a Miguel Bose fan – but my dad is like the biggest and that’s rubbed off a little bit. I love Morena Mia. I don’t think it’s a mood-setting track but it’s a playful one. xD
Having said that, I’ve always felt his video with his niece is totally creepy haha.
