I Beg For More

Charlotte Adigéry “Cursed and Cussed”

“Cursed and Cussed” is built on a looped breakbeat that sounds very early ‘90s, the sort of rhythm that drew a line straight through rap, new jack swing, and rave and then filtered into crossover pop in the liminal phase before gangsta rap and grunge shifted the direction of mainstream music. Charlotte Adigéry’s vocal is understated in tone but her lyrics are overtly filthy, sketching out BDSM scenes and repeating “God punishes, I beg for more” on the hook. The funniest bits of the song are when Adigéry jokingly self-censors, as when she stops the word “gloryhole” midway through to sing “hold that thought, climax control.” Adigéry sets a kinky scene, but makes it sexier by giving the audience a little wink.
