In his nu-soul single “LBD,” (little black dress) singer Alex Slay drops a slick and sensual anthem that pours out his hot-blooded appreciation for his lady’s little black dress, and, more importantly, what it does to him. It’s an electric nod to an iconic piece of fashion that can stop traffic and set off smoke alarms when it’s wrapped around the right curves. Alex‘s voice is smooth and effortless, like silk sliding over bare skin. It’s light yet commanding – a contrast that fits perfectly with the beat’s funky, disco-tinged vibe. Elements of strumming guitars, crisp drums, bright synth leads, and cosmic keys serve up a dish that’s both sweet and spicy.
The lyrics of “LBD” leave no room for mystery. There’s no doubt that Slay is ready to get down, with lines like “I want you so close/ closer than you’ve ever been” and “I’mma fuck you right/ I know what you like, like, like” leaving no room for subtlety. There’s a boldness here, a nod to lust and directness that charges every word. Still, as bold as its sensuality may be, “LBD” runs deeper than just quenching that raw thirst inside. It’s about the exciting dance of anticipation that comes before that first touch.
Stripped to its core, “LBD” is Alex Slay’s tribute to the heart-racing, skin-tingling dance of attraction and connection. It’s a dizzying beam of yearning all wrapped up in a groove that seeps under your skin and stays echoing in your head for days.
