“Ask Me“, the new single from noted soul singer Jaguar Wright, saunters into focus with warm harmonies and a striding, boom-clap rhythm. We the audience are quickly set up to enjoy a smart and graceful R&B affair and our leading lady doesn’t disappoint.
One of Ms. Wright’s most celebrated attributes is her talent for bracing her rich, versatile voice with a “cut to the chase” level of candidness. It’s clear that this is a woman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and her frankness has always been remarkably alluring. On “Ask Me“, Jaguar continues to tap into that well of genius as she takes a moment to calmly confront her mistrusting man after she finds out that he has been secretly keeping tabs on her comings and goings whenever they’re not together. But if he thought his lack of trust would strike a nerve with his ladylove, he soon finds out that Jag has one hell of a poker face. Her entire response is gracious, poised, hell even classy as she sweetly explains that if he really wants to know what she’s up to, all he has to do is ask. Her jazz-flavored delivery masterfully draws the listener in then troubles the waters with a few “wait…what?” moments of bluntness. Reflecting on the song’s theme, Jaguar offers “This composition is a conversation about directness in relationships and the dangers of dysfunctional communication between consenting adults in this modern age“.
Providing a nice twist on a quiet-storm classic, Jaguar Wright shows up to your summertime playlist with a warm yet disarmingly defiant slice of soul music that is easily one of her best works.
