  • Hot and sexy
    author: East Coast of USA

    "Oyelo":This song is so hot, so sexy, and it made me want to be undressed, in bed with you and just closing my eyes and hearing it, feeling it, tasting it, relishing it, and have you bite the nape of my neck. God! And then after all that, you end it with such a great line, such perfect feeling...Congratulations on such fantastic songwriting.
