Marsha Assists Jamie On Something Quite Freaky
I suppose "T-Shirt & Panties" needed some kind of upgrade, right? Between songs featuring T.I., Lil' Wayne and T-Pain, we were wondering if Jamie Foxx's Intuition (released today) had any tracks that could pass the SoulBounce Sniff Test. Sex songs are always tricky. Sometimes they are unintentionally funny or just downright offensive. When done correctly, they can be fun and titillating. Jamie has built a career upon such songs and his duet with Marsha Ambrosius, "Freak'in Me" is fairly nasty, but not in a juvenile, off-putting way that makes you feel gross. It could simply be Marsha's presence that dignifies it. Or perhaps the subtle hat-tips to Jodeci and Silk. I'm totally on board with this one, and my "Eff Music" selections are usually reduced to Janet Jackson.

SororSalsa | December 17, 2008 10:45 AM | PermalinkMarsha def made this a solid track...me likey!
stainedglass | December 16, 2008 9:56 PM | PermalinkThis song is a definite keeper, aside from 'Just Like me' and 'Digital girl' this is the only other track im currently listening to on the album. Girl can sing her pants off which helps as well obviously!

Butta | December 16, 2008 1:22 PM | PermalinkMaybe it's just me but Jamie should stick to movies....He obviously is a triple threat but the songs he waste his talent on are subpar at best and down right ugly the rest of the time.
stoneyisland | December 16, 2008 12:24 PM | PermalinkAny track with Marsha's vocals gets a listen from me, and i agree with nOva that this is a solid track.
Given that most 'sex songs' of today would only appeal to teenagers or the depraved this is welcome.
Also check out Marva Kings 'Holla' (or for that fact her whole Grown & Sexy album) if you want a bit of spice in your songs over the festive period.
Soul UK | December 16, 2008 11:38 AM | PermalinkI just played this song 353523453465 times over the past 24 hours - including three times on the way to work this morning. I think Marsha's soft, subtle tones play nicely over the melodiously aggressive track. Jamie did his thing, but Marsha makes the song. Millions of "get the drawz" playlists around the world will be updated with this joint and expect its presence on the "sexy preservation" edition of the FFC.
