Listen to “Fuck Him All Night” by Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks has gone from asking, “What’s your dick like homie?” to taking raw dicks ’til dawn. Coming after a slew of mildly tempered tracks, the newest single from one of rap’s least censored voices is carnivorous even by the standards of 2021’s explicitly no-fucks-given sex anthems. Produced by New York house musician Galcher Lustwerk, “Fuck Him All Night” is an unexpected deep-house track full of lust and abjection.
Lustwerk’s buzzing production is ready to pierce even the most fried brains at the club, and Banks injects comedy between the ominously pulsating synths and questionable barbs. Who’s the object of her desire? Who cares—it’s about how far she’s willing to go, which is all the way there. “We can slut, we can fuck, we can dig in the guts,” she brags. She changed her pronouns to FUCK/HIM/ALL/NIGHT. Her quick-witted teases (“We can suck to the nut if you ready to bust”) work like a centripetal force, guiding the song towards the climax she so indulgently wants. At this point in the year, we can’t keep pretending that something horny isn’t penetrating the air. Let Azealia Banks reign as our libertine laureate.
