New Meshell Ndegeochello - "La Petit Mort"

Brief article:

http://www.okayplayer.com...-mort.html

Another sneak preview of Meshell Ndegeocello‘s highly anticipated album Weather (dropping November 8th) and this one is even dirtier than “Dirty World”–in a good way. The hypnotically simple bass-and-keys motif builds to “the little death” of the title ( as all philosophy majors know, la petit mort is french for ‘orgasm’) with lines like “let me die / a small death / while you tell me the truth / who’s your daddy now?” The combination of naiveté and melancholy is somehow reminiscent of classic Talking Heads, but David Byrne never talked husky like this.

Le petit mort is French for "little death", which means orgasm.

This track was doing nothing for me until that piano line came in at the end. It really saved it for me.
