Madlovely “Thirsty”

It is stiflingly hot and humid in NYC right now, the kind of heat where you are grateful for even the slightest hint of a breeze. Thankfully Madlovely have gifted us with an exceptional bit of dubby, hazy and slightly desperate hip hop soul pop to soundtrack that feeling of walking and breathing in the absolutely solid night air. “Thirsty” is a sticky groove that includes a lyrical tribute to goddess Chaka Khan’s version of “I Feel For You”, and sounds like some otherworldly imaginary duet between T-Boz and the late Prince Be of P.M. Dawn, which is to say it’s kind of perfect.
