First of the Month - Paulo and the Problems (Pop/R&B) Paulo and the Problems joins our blog roster this week with the steamy R&B funk number “First of the Month.” It’s a 70s tinged dreamy record, infused with sparkling rhodes and a liquid bass line, as Paulo’s spit rides the bit to disclose his desire for the object of his affection. The track is crammed full of clever lyrics, including the title which is a very smart metaphor in pledging his reliability—he’s a tenant that pays first of the month. The rest of that lyrical prowess is dedicated to innuendo that we’ll let you discover, but we’ll say there’s a lot of feasting going on. Overall, this track is as smooth as honey and gives you that good old old school baby-making music vibe. Bow chicka wow wow.
Best Lyric: “Skinny til you turn to the back.”
