Every great song is not all driving beats and jamming guitar, nor is it super-fast Hip-hop lyrics or giant pop hooks. Sometimes a song sneaks up on you: quirky, catchy, ethereal. In the same way that a guy might appreciate a well-made "chick movie," this is a really good "chick song." Nelly's voice is soulful, a little sweet, a little sexy, and a lot of passionate.
Turn Off The Light has an earthy sound. The strings (is that a sitar?) and sampled sounds feel like the theme music of a misty marsh: wet, lush and green. Whether that marsh is in the Bayou, the jungles of Central America, or somewhere in Southeast Asia, who knows?
