Seven Songs a Week: 05/05/21

Hello, Welcome to Seven Songs a Week

Today's song is from an upcoming album and era I am very excited for, today I am reviewing "Kiss Me More" by Doja Cat featuring SZA. I found out about Dojac Cat after she released her song "Mooo!" three years ago and I was hooked by the lyrics of the song and Cat's bodaciousness. I always appreciated Cat's ability to effortlessly fit on an feature and song. Her second studio album "Hot Pink" was one of the best albums from last year and fans are giddy for her next album, "Planet Her." Cat first teased "Planet Her" as the destination of her performance at The VMAS and eventually confirmed the title via twitter. It wouldn't be until last month in April that she would release the lead single.

Single Cover for "Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)

Doja Cat begins the song describing all the things her and her lover do together but she want him to well...kiss her more. Cat admires kissing more than she admires the love making and cuddling, Kissing is the first thing that somebody does, Cat even calls it "...principal..." but she wants more than just a peck. Cat wants a long wet tongue kiss she even shares "Boy, you write your name, I can do the same." as in the movement of their tongues and if that isn't obvious she sings "All on my tongue, I want it." Cat begins the next verse with the very direct phrase of "I feel like f------ somethin'" but that begins with a kiss, which she finds "...corny..." She wants to be koi at first but then she doesn't care because she wants her man. Cat once again mentions spelling out a name with "Sign first, middle, last on the wisdom tooth." The song turns into cunnilingus and how often Cat receives it. SZA begins her verse and says "give me a buck, need that gushy stuff" meaning she also need kissing and when she gets it, it feels like getting paid. She only wants kissing however, when asked to "...push the limit..." she tells her lover "...you ain't good enough." Her lovers really lover SZA but she doesn't love them back as spending time with them feels like "...jail." SZA describes how her body is a "...holy grail..." and how she's gonna leave the relationship because she knows her lover is lying to her. The song continues again with Cat's pleading.

The video for “Kiss Me More” truly brings out the concept of “Planet Her” and what it will be. We see a astronaut, played by Alex Landi, arriving on Planet Her after crash landing and ignoring his warning not to go to the planet. We see a silhouette of two woman with levitating balls and more of Landi walking aimlessly. He finds a a canoe and the sound of the Doja Cat’s voice. She rides the canoe as Doja and Sza are on a bed together. We see the giant Doja, she is pink and awesome. She distracts Landi and we see her in a mansion. She blows a kiss to Landi, he is dizzied with the beauty in front of him and in a tree as SZA begins her verse. SZA is on her own island where Cherry Blossoms are always in bloom. Landi reaches a mouth at the end of the river, sees a fruit, picks the fruit, eats it and is allowed access to enter the mouth. He wakes up stripped of his uniform in Cat’s and SZA’s shared bed and they begin to share him. By the end of the session, Landi notices that he’s disappearing. He finds himself in a pink cryogenic tube with the initial warning repeating as he wakes up. Cat and SZA are surrounded by other men in tubes as they play video games and eat snacks, mirroring Landi’s journey. SZA notices the new specimen and wonders what “earth” is, he tries to get their attention but they only have two words to say to him “Shut Up!”

I really like "Kiss Me More," the song may not have much meaning but it sounds great and is the perfect summer song. I have to admit that when I first heard this song, I wasn't too keen on it. It isn't necessarily lead single potential but it's cute.
