Track has all the ingredients, should be in contention for future classic but peoples ears ain't as tuned in as they were in past.

An ode to 90’s R&B, Amerigo Gazaway and Xiomara’s “1990” album is a nostalgic love letter to an era that redefined the genre. Known for his work reinterpreting classics, Gazaway (most recently tapped by the Miles Davis estate for his work on the lost Rubberband sessions), steps out of his role as a remixer and gives Bay Area artist, Xiomara, the bedrock for her voice to flourish.
With her breakout 2016 release “Seven Nineteen,” Xiomara’s soulful debut took home top rankings in SF Weekly’s “5 Best Bay Area Albums of 2016” list and led to guest spots on releases from Son Little, Blu, and Oh No to name a few. Leaning heavy on Xiomara’s songwriting and arrangement chops, the newly formed duo spent the last year crafting a collaboration as original as it is reminiscent.
Your touch is a summer storm passin over (passin over)
[Verse 1]
You wanted to chill
I wanna give you the real
And as the temperature builds passions boiling
And every night we talk on the phone
Hollering and carrying on
I want you swing down carry me home
[Chorus]
Whatever you want I’m down for whatever
Whatever you wish I hope to be
I never have had a love give me pleasure
Quite like you and me
[Verse 2]
Oh now I can feel my body layin into your pressure oh
When you put it down don’t hold back a thing
Uh huh the way you got me shakin I’ma need me a stretcher
Don’t take your love away from me
Your touch is a summer storm
passin over, I’m no good
You’re rippling pushing pools from me
Oh and baby I’m wide open and down for your lovin
You make me wanna give it all can’t you see?
[Chorus]
Whatever you want I’m down for whatever
Whatever you wish I hope to be
I never have had a love give me pleasure
Quite like you and me
(Bass Solo)
[Chorus]
(Modulate, Repeat)
Oh Oh Oh
You want us to chill
And as the temperature builds
Passions boiling
And when we talk on the phone (oh oh)
I want you, carry me home
