Kiss Me More
SZA
This is one of the warmest, most effortlessly sensual pop records of the early 2020s — Doja Cat and SZA circling each other over a production that draws directly from 1970s soul and soft funk, complete with wah-wah guitar licks, velvet synth pads, and a bass line that undulates rather than drives. The tempo is slow and deliberate, and the whole thing feels sun-soaked, lounging in that golden-hour space between afternoon and evening. SZA's voice is a particular kind of instrument — husky at the edges, conversational in phrasing, capable of slipping from casual speech-melody into genuinely beautiful sustained notes without announcing the transition. Doja brings a different energy: playful, sharply rhythmic, confidently flirtatious. Together they trade a dynamic that feels like genuine chemistry rather than a calculated feature arrangement. The lyrical world is unapologetically romantic and physical — desire expressed without apology, couched in vintage aesthetic references that give it a timelessness. This song belongs to the neo-soul revival moment, the TikTok-era rediscovery of 70s warmth, the playlist you make for a long summer drive with someone you're newly, giddily infatuated with. It's a song that makes you want to move slowly, deliberately, and enjoy exactly where you are.
