Ann Marie featuring Jeremih “Drip”

The most immediately striking thing about “Drip” is that slow metronomic two-note motif that opens the song and carries through it like a literal drip from a faucet. The particular metallic tone is quite lovely, and the steady hypnotic quality of it contrasts nicely with Ann Marie and Jeremih’s far more sophisticated melodies, which seem to tangle around the center of it like vines climbing up a pole. This is an EXTREMELY horny and explicit song – it really is nothing more than two people singing about wanting to fuck each other – and while that sort of thing is fairly common now, there’s a gravity and resonance to this track that makes it all feel quite vivid, intimate, and romantically sincere.
