"Night Time" - On this erotically rhythmic track, the soul songstress continues on the topic of carnal desires, belting out to her man about how much he occupies her mind and her sexy thoughts.
"69" - "Take my clothes off, stiletto heels still on deck," Marsha purrs on this cut. "Take my clothes off. You better get ready, get set." With a title inspired by the hot, um, position, it ain't hard to tell what's got Ms. Ambrosius singing... all of it atop a misty mixture of echo-y synth-n-bass punches.  (Photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images)"Shoes" - Marsha mines the sounds of '60s love ballads for this track as she stretches the sexual issue to include notions of her not being able to say "no" to her lover's advances.  (Photo: James W.
