“I’m not looking for a voiceover… My companionship is enough, someone to make me fall in love… I’m looking for someone to set me on fire…” – Esther
Estelle’s music video “The Fire” featuring JOI is a super energetic celebration of funk and R&B that perfectly matches the energy of her latest single. Esther keeps the party spirit going with her soulful vocals about the one who lit her fire. JOI, the progressive soul queen and Badu’s good friend, kicks things off with a bold spoken word intro and adds a sexy bridge that really spices up the song. The song dives into a funky rhythm and the bassline is absolutely – pardon the pun – fire.
lyrics:
[Joi intro]
If it weren’t for the soul burning
Hell flame yearning type s###
I talk about Caliente every day, type###
blazing star shower
I want to touch the sunshine
And take a frameless power supply
I want to hold hands and run in the rain f###### fire
I feel you coming towards me
smells like a fantasy
Hennessy on Hennessy
4D shock guaranteed
I’m not looking for dubbing
My company is enough
Who can make me fall in love
I’m looking for someone who can make me grow
on fire
make me brighter
take me higher
oh oh
on fire
make me brighter
take me higher
Oh love would you put on these wings and fly like this
fly this way
I might like the way you roll it up (roll up that cloth)
That thing made it personal (very personal)
I’ll make you a snack after sex
they know nothing about it
I’m not looking for dubbing
My company is enough
Who can make me fall in love
I’m looking for someone who can make me grow
on fire
make me brighter
take me higher
oh oh
on fire
make me brighter
take me higher
Oh love would you put on these wings and fly like this
fly this way
Oh, I love you, are you willing to give me wings?
fly this way
fly this way
[Joi outro]
say, say, say
Yo, fly this way
My wings are always ready
I hope this isn’t too heavy
Because you are really good to me
What you see is not necessarily love
But you have to bring all these things to me
Yes and you
I’m talking to you
Get your nice m############# ass
you are lucky
i choose you
