Let me just say that this is definitely a straight-up indie underground track. That said, I'm hooked. Plain and simple.

Sure, the beat's not the most impressive and the quality could use some work. But look past that and you'll find a nice song with the some clever words and an addictive tone. It's raw, gritty, and that's not a bad thing.

Between some steamy imagery and clever lines that melodically ride the beat, you get some of basic woo's like:

"ay baby, tell me what it is today
but if it ain't me and you then don't say a thing
see i been dreamin 'bout ya body for so many nights
and tonight its feelin right so let us get it right
let's take off all these clothes, get our bodies exposed
let me kiss you from your head to your toes
wanna hear you say 'go!', wanna hear you say my name
i been thinkin' 'bout you baby but it ain't the same"

Which is definitely solid and thought out. But then you some out-the-box cleverness that you've got to appreciate:

"the days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months
away, goes by, it's all so much
i feel all the seconds, touch, can we get a moment?"

Overall, the entire song comes off very natually and well-thought out. It doesn't sound like a freestyle, or a comeback song, or a hype song, it sound like a good track. You took a general concept that's been done and added something fresh to it, and you made it sound really good with what you had to work with. Hook was great, verses as I pointed out had a good mix of your more typical content (that was above average) and creative concepts sprinkled in.

Sure, it's a rough cut. But I feel like this particular song had that it factor that kept me listening without getting tired of it. The performance was believable, not overdone, overly-sappy, and the imagery was fantastic. Certainly catchy and the mix was fairly well done (minus the overall quality). Flow was on point throughout and it just felt like a good song.

That's when you know you're doing something right. I'd love to hear this song with better mixing/mastering, could do very well. Job well done. Go ahead, give it a play.
