Mass Me
I wrote this initially as an LGBTQIA+ afrobeat song. A songwriter named Lou heard it and suggested I make a female version. The original is with Male Vox as that is the original intention and the cover is with a female Vox that I felt fit the energy I was going for. Both AI. I uploaded the lyrics and my melody and these came out.

[Verse 1]
Boy you’re so unusual you make me feel these funny things.
In the brush with coconut it’s not the only nut [fruit] we see.
Look at the length of palm tree so big.
Look at the aloe strong and thick
We look around to see there no one,
Holdin onto that pretty - O.
[Chorus]
Mass me all around take it up and take it down,
Show me how the googoo kuku sound.
Make it quiet make it loud.
Mass me all around take it up and take it down
Show me how the tiki sound,
Dip it under make it round of yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
Mec you make the mango sweet you make the passion fruit inside,
All the grass between our toes the squacco flies above our thighs.
Ta-te me jango sweet like soursop, telema tako quenepa
Baton de manioc fills like fufu, platano power makes us jive!
[Chorus]
Mass me all around take it up and take it down,
Show me how the googoo kuku sound.
Make it quiet make it loud.
Mass me all around take it up and take it down
Show me how the tiki sound,
Dip it under make it round of yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Mass me all around take it up and take it down,
Show me how the googoo kuku sound.
Make it quiet make it loud.
Mass me all around take it up and take it down
Show me how the tiki sound,
Dip it under make it round-
[Break Down]

Hey there Franswa...
The LGBTQIA+ is rather hidden, if not, maybe, in innuendo.
Has a nice Tropical language that is pleasant. The melody and music is rather generic, but it is a pleasant song, overall.
Have fun and explore all options.
Good stuff!

I enjoyed the song, 2 versions are really nice but I prefer the male version, it has anther kind of energy, maybe voice is very special.
Very catchy, engaging and good one!!!
LGTB is a world the world tries to hide, don't know why... or yes, It's something as absurd as trying to cover meat with meat, hahaha
I've enjoyed your island-like music.

Thank you! There’s something in the male version that I prefer as well energetically and the way that it broke down the chants.
With artists like Sam Smith and Lil Nas X there’s a whole new opportunity for LGBTQ+ music.

Might work well as a dance track. I think the lyric takes a back seat to the catchy rhythm in this one.
It's easy on the ears, but it didn't really grab my attention.
I think the male version works better given the lyric, but they both sound fine.
