Andy Hutchins: Gonna just link this and this here.

David Sheffieck: Remember how quick we got a fan-made remix of “Drunk in Love” minus Jay Z? Someone should do the same for this and Wale, stat. I’d almost forgotten how little could be said with so many lines, but Wale reminded me before “Last Night” even got going: there’s a low bar to clear in order to top “If I do say so myself, if I do say so myself,” and Wale just got clotheslined.

Megan Harrington: Oh, okay, I guess dusting the track with Wale’s after-dinner farts is one way make Sebastian Mikael distinct from every other ladykiller crooning the highlighted passages of a PUA manual while spread out on a bearskin rug in front of a crackling fire.

Anthony Easton: He asks her to keep things “confidential”, which is the sleaziest use of that word since those ’50s tabloids who cared deeply about Lana Turner. But that it isn’t the sleaziest thing on the track; that would be the line about leaving once and coming twice and the little whoo brag that follows it. Here, sleaze done well might be a virtue.

Brad Shoup: Is this what Jason Derulo covering “Stranger in Moscow” would sound like? Al is all here, and these knuckleheads share a deduction for the unibrow crack and singing “I’m lovin’ it” twice.

Josh Langhoff: Oh good, I was waiting for the Color Me Badd reunion. Now we just have to lure the other two back from Europe, where for contractual reasons they tour as Colour Me Ladd. After that, they can’t go back — I think they’re gonna have to stay. FOREVER.

Alfred Soto: Al B Sure!’s immortal “Nite and Day” sampled for the sake of a Ne-Yo knockoff and a rapper looking for a hit — I couldn’t have written the email to an A&R man any more succinctly.
