New Music: Cardi B & Bruno Mars – “Please Me”

Few songs will have you sold within the first five songs, and “Please Me” is one of them. Sonically, the song is squarely in Bruno Mars territory — or, shall I say, Teddy Riley/Jodeci territory — so it is chock-full of melody. Cardi B’s verses are decent, but the most noteworthy part of the song is Cardi singing and sounding like an actual singer (as opposed to a rapper attempting to sing).

The song sounds a lot like “That’s What I Like,” but manages to do so without feeling too derivative. Both songs were co-produced by the Stereotypes, who also produced “Finesse.”

It’s not clear what album “Please Me” will appear on. Cardi B was expected to release a deluxe edition of Invasion of Privacy, but that never happened and the album is not almost a year old, so it’s likely that this song will be on her second studio album.
