Single Review: Nina Sky "Move Your Body"

Nina Sky encourage their best friend to freak with a guy on the dancefloor in the derivative "Move Your Body."

The sample of the Scatta Burrell's "Coolie Dance Riddim" opens the single, setting an undistinguished tone. Jabba introduces song. Boisterous and enthusiastic, he says that Nina Sky are the next big thing. They are up and comers in the music industry and everybody should remember their name. Then, he tells Natalie and Nicole Albino to begin the song.

"Alright, right about now massive and crew!/Yuh dun know we have di biggest group singers here right now/Brand new inna di market, mi seh everybody worldwide/
Get use to dat group yah yuh dun know/So right now girls, hey!"

In the chorus, they tell their best to shake her hips and dance suggestively to the music. It will impress the guys in the club.

"Move your body, girl/Makes the fellas go/The way you ride it, girl/Makes the fellas go/Move your body, girl/Makes the fellas go/The way you ride it, girl/Makes the fellas go."

In the first verse, the girls arrive in the club wearing their most sheer and revealing outfits. Jabba interjects with his approval. They walk around the club first, making eye contact with the cute guys. Then, as they all move to the dancefloor, the guys will follow them. Jabba tells everyone to touch the dance floor. They tell the guys to be assertive. The friend will take them to the floor. Nicole and Natalie have found guys of their own, too. They tell them to get behind them and they will move erotically. They add if they lick their lips they are into the guy. They will add they turn him on.

"Roll up in the club, looking fly (Yuh know)/Made your first approach then caught his eye (Wah!)/So they move your way towards the dance floor/(Everybody touch di dance floor)/Grab her hand and she leads first/Whole night has gotten through, stand behind me let me grind on you/If I lick my lips I’m probably feelin' you/I’m a make you go, oh!"

In the second verse, the guys are responding postively to their dancing. They instruct the guys to be slow and take their time. Jabba tells the guys to follow their advice. The Albinos and their friend are sweaty. The club is packed and people are holding onto to each other. The Albinos tell their guys that they are arousing them. They like how they move. They have a chemistry with them and time seems to have stopped.

"Whoa! (You feelin' it now) take it slow (Slowly baby)/(You turning me on)/Club get warmer (warmer) body moves closer (closer)/Run with the rhythm (rhythm) don’t stop movin' your makin' me hot/From head to toe, I feel your flow/Vibes get stronger (stronger) party seems longer (longer)/And me really want ya, don’t stop movin', your makin' me hot."

The chorus is sung twice.

    You forgot the similarity of the chorus to Christina Milian's "Dip It Low."

    There's the obvious motion (though dip it low, bring it up slow, roll it all around, work it out is more eloquent than move your body) and there's the mention of making the men say 'ooh'
