a Prince-inspired funky bop about open relationships
“A vague invitation to my domain of neon lights” invokes the Prince inspired aesthetic of “secondhandlover”, a song about inviting a lover into an open relationship. This sexy, funky bop features staccato synths and guitars, a hypnotic bass line evoking Janet Jackson and lyrics full of double entendre. The singer invites the listener to make them their prey, their object of desire, ensuring them it’s consensual for all parties involved. This belongs on any bedroom playlist getting ready for fun.
