The idea that food can be a metaphor for sexual allure is not new, but when it’s handled correctly, it’s far from boring. The new single entitled “Cookin’ ” from Chi-city renaissance man Cam Be is a slinky and funky affair that delivers its seductive lyrics with a wink and a devilish grin. The lyrics aren’t your average throwaway fluff about love or sex; it’s about passion and infatuation, lust and wanton desire. This track is a savory jambalaya of risque, food-related euphemisms stirred together into an irresistible hip-hop song. The production has the feel of a Blaxploitation-era soul track but is given a 21st-century makeover with the help of soulman Peter Jericho. And the accompanying video turns the heat up even more as we watch a curvy beauty whip up a couple of vegan dishes as if enticing a live studio audience on her late-night cooking show. All in all, a great piece of work with an undeniably infectious groove that will easily draw in all who listen to it.
“Cookin’ “ is lifted from Cam Be‘s Summer in September album, which dropped towards the end of 2020. You can show your support by buying or streaming the single and video from your favorite spot below as well as check out more from Cam Be by visiting the links listed.
