The Tracklist for Smokey Robinson’s GASMS Proves He’s Really Bout That Life https://www.theroot.com/the-tracklist-for-smokey-robinson-s-gasms-proves-he-s-r-1850052853

As we previously announced here at The Root, the Motown legend is set to drop his first new album in nine years (!!!!!!) very, very soon (April to be exact). And after recently revealing that yes, in a past life, he was a willing participant in a salacious affair with Diana Ross during his first marriage, the man who lured our parents into child support payments with seductive tunes like “Being With You” and “Ooo Baby Baby” has decided to name his latest collection of panty droppers GASMS.

Even at 82 years young, songs like “I Wanna Know Your Body” and “I Fit In There” prove the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is still a light-skinned menace to society. You fill who up?! And who you “Keep Callin’”, sir? Which one of our great-grandmothers are you trying to “Roll Around” with?

And while I’m sure Smokey is off somewhere finalizing a lucrative sponsorship with either Casper Mattress or Pfizer, fellow members of the Black Delegation have taken to social media to express their own concerns about Mr. Pull Your Auntie turning Essence Fest (or your friendly neighborhood senior center) into Freaknik.

So if you want Smokey to know your body too, make sure to indulge in some GASMS this April.
