Synth Single Review: “Wanting You Now’’ by Mayah Camara & SelloRekt/LA Dreams

Mayah Camara & SelloRekt/LA Dreams’ Wanting You Now is an expression of overwhelming passion and desire. The song begins with heavily erupting drums as the sensual voiceover comes in. Lambent synth rises with sparkling luminosity as Mayah Camara's smoky, soulful voice carries the desire-filled melody. SelloRekt/LA Dreams’ synth bubbles like champagne as Mayah Camara's sexy voice expresses the deep need within the lyrics.

The way in which she injects intense attraction and fierce desire engages me in the music. The low end has an insistent throb which speaks to the song’s urgent undercurrent. The crystalline synth climbs to the sky and Mayah Camara pours heat and need into the words.

The low end continues to muscle forward as the gritty expression of the vocalist permeates the music. The guitar slices with free-wheeling ardency as Mayah Camara belts out the melody as nobody else can. The huge drumbeat is insistent as the impassioned chorus explodes and flies.

Heat and craving mingle in Mayah Camara's distinctive voice while the low end continues to pump. The track drives toward an end with galactic light suffusing the track from the synth while the drum heartbeat takes the song to an end.

Our narrator says that nothing can compare to the time when they’re alone together with low lights and soft music. She says, “I can’t focus right now, I need you to hurry home, okay?” because she needs the song’s subject now. She left him a message, asking him not to take too long when he's coming home, because she needs him.

She’s been waiting far too long and the storyteller says, “I don’t feel so strong ‘cause I need you now.” She wants to feel the song subject’s tender touch and experience his love, because she’s all alone. She adds, “Baby, I’m ready for you to do what you do.” She points out that their chemistry is undeniable and when he touches her, “I ignite with desire.”

Our narrator says, “Every woman needs the love of her man,” and she wants to be tied up, tied down and thrown around because it’s been “nothing but passion since the day we began.” Now she says there are “hot beads of sweat dripping down my neck,” and as their eyes meet, the heat rises and she knows what’s about to happen.

Now the storyteller wants to be slid out of her little black dress so the song’s subject can “make your move in this game of chess,” and again, she knows what’s about to happen. There were many things that got in the way of this moment, including the fact that he was away.

She concludes: “I need your loving healing. I really need it right now.”
