Velvet Night Confessions

male vocals
hip hop
rap
r&b
Afrobeat
Soul
lifted hook
thick sub bass
Smoky R&B slow-burn with male vocals over warm Rhodes
and lazy Afro-inflected drums; verses lean into close-mic intimacy and half-sung rap cadences
chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and airy pads
bridge strips to claps and bass before a final

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You pull up in that old tee
Hair tied, still you stunt, low key
Drop your keys in the glass by the door
You say, "I had a day" and fall to the floor
I’m in the kitchen with the rice on simmer
Candle in the corner, throwing gold on the mirror
You kick off your worries with your shoes
Slide into my lap like, "Baby, just move"
[Chorus]
Say you want love in slow motion
Velvet night confessions
Spill it on my chest like lotion
Let it sink, no questions
We don’t rush this feeling
We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions
Tell me everything you’re scared to say
[Verse 2]
Phone face down, you don’t need that glow
You trace my tattoos, ask about the one I don’t show
You say, "Do you ever feel like we might break?"
I say, "Every real thing got a little bit of shake" (yeah)
You laugh through the worry in your eyes
You been hurt so long you apologize
For needing something real, all the way
I kiss your forehead, say, "Talk your way"
[Chorus]
Say you want love in slow motion
Velvet night confessions
Spill it on my chest like lotion
Let it sink, no questions
We don’t rush this feeling
We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions
Tell me everything you’re scared to say
[Bridge]
We could argue in the morning
Still hold on at night
We got thunder in the hallway
But this room feels right
Every scar you try to cover
I can trace in the dark
Every truth you try to swallow
Let it rest in my heart (yeah)
[Chorus]
Say you want love in slow motion
Velvet night confessions
Spill it on my chest like lotion
Let it sink, no questions
We don’t rush this feeling
We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions
Tell me everything you’re scared to say
You pull up in that old tee
Hair tied, still you stunt, low key
Drop your keys in the glass by the door
You say, "I had a day" and fall to the floor
I’m in the kitchen with the rice on simmer
Candle in the corner, throwing gold on the mirror
You kick off your worries with your shoes
Slide into my lap like, "Baby, just move"
[Chorus]
Say you want love in slow motion
Velvet night confessions
Spill it on my chest like lotion
Let it sink, no questions
We don’t rush this feeling
We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions
Tell me everything you’re scared to say
[Verse 2]
Phone face down, you don’t need that glow
You trace my tattoos, ask about the one I don’t show
You say, "Do you ever feel like we might break?"
I say, "Every real thing got a little bit of shake" (yeah)
You laugh through the worry in your eyes
You been hurt so long you apologize
For needing something real, all the way
I kiss your forehead, say, "Talk your way"
[Chorus]
Say you want love in slow motion
Velvet night confessions
Spill it on my chest like lotion
Let it sink, no questions
We don’t rush this feeling
We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions

We just ride that wave
Velvet night confessions
Tell me everything you’re scared to say
