Jean Grae - Love Thirst

This is most over-sexed song since Je T'aime: it has the same panting vocals and sleazy bassline. But Jean Grae's lyrics are incredible - the "tangible/tangled/tango" bars are so tightly-wound with all that consonance and assonance. (Thank you Ms Phoenix for ramming the English Lit GSCE syllabus down my throat until I could regurgitate poetry at will and define assonance with my eyes shut. It has finally served some purpose.)
