Marsha Ambrosius- Late Nights Early Mornings



I know I am late posting this video but I am glad I had the opportunity to watch it. As much as I love Marsha Ambrosius, her album just did not cut  it for me. I listened to three songs in particular and this song  was one of them. I liked the whole Prince vibe when I listened to it. And might I add that the sexual content of the song also made me girlishly giggle. When looking at the video, besides staring at Marsha's clothes (white jumpsuit and the black and white striped shirt) and the gorgeous man she has her love interest, I was confused at first glance not understanding the symbols above the characters' heads. By the second viewing, the song had a totally different meaning. A song about a sweaty love making session turned into a safe sex lesson. It seems as if Marsha is bringing out her inner advocate for such issues as suicide, indifference (Far Away) and showing that it is cool to have sex as long as it is protected sex. The video has an interesting spin to thinking of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.It seems to be displaying "Don't have unprotected sex. If you happen to do it, get tested".  I won't be suprised if I hear this song or see her face for condoms in the near future.
