    Hot Like Fire by The xx
    originally by Aaliyah

    The xx take a 1996 R&B jam, remove the beats, add a lot of cross-faded atmosphere and their dueted voices to give us a sweet and sexy track about holding off a bit before having sex with someone. I’d argue the cut does a great job of musically capturing the feeling one builds up in this scenario.

    Oh it’s gonna be, hot like fire
    Take you higher
    You can’t resist
    Kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss and…

    It certainly sounds like the wait will be worth it to me. —indieandyy
