The Sexiest Songs of 2020 (So Far...)
While most of us are isolated at home, here are some bedroom jams to keep in mind for when the time is finally right
It's safe to say we're not living in the sexiest of times right now.
While mass disease lurks around every corner, the revolting actions of white supremacists and misogynists continue to make headlines around the country. We watch all this transpire from our dark, cramped apartment, where we sit on our coaches and gorge ourselves on Doritos while ghostly pale, unbathed, and clammy thanks to AC units being deemed unsafe by the CDC. We're told repeatedly that to engage in human touch means certain death, and that if we are going to have sex, it will require consulting the most awkward government-issued list of guidelines for how we can "safely" engage in coitus.
With all these pieces at play, to listen to romping sex tunes seems almost comical, but there has remained a surprising number of stimulating tracks in 2020. For those who somehow still find ways not to be turned off, here are the sexiest songs of 2020 so far.
"BUSSIT" by Ari Lennox
Lennox's erotic nonchalance is what made 2018's Shea Butter Baby both relatable and compelling. Over a fluid blend of jazz, funk, and R&B, "Buss It" makes for a perfect bedroom excursion, with Lennox's frank songwriting empowering to anyone who wants just to get down to brass tacks. "You scared of love but f*ck your fear," Lennox sings with suave sophistication. "Ain't no gettin' away from this if you wanted to." "Buss It's" colorful music video accommodates the track perfectly, with Lennox and co-stars sporting gorgeous bright outfits that inspire us to look our best even when no one is watching.
