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
