about

BUTTER is the first single off the debut album by San Francisco Bay Area raised and Philly based artist Vessna Scheff. With mesmerizing vocal harmonies, shimmering 90’s to early 2000’s synths, and an 80’s club backbeat, BUTTER drops you right into the feeling of being swoon by your crush under the disco ball at the roller rink. Overtaken with feeling, you can’t help but brave your skates and make your way over to them, hoping you become “smooth like butter.” Inspired by a desire to feel playful, fun, sexy, and confident while navigating being a caregiver during the pandemic, Scheff wrote this song inspired by Adult Skate Night (unofficially known as Black skate night at rinks throughout the U.S.) as a dreamscape of the freedom found on the rink. Together with her collaborator Lee Clarke, Scheff builds an electrifying current glistening with the anticipation and rush of pushing off the rink wall, and gliding into your confidence.

lyrics

there’s something I’ve been trying to say but
words just get in the way when I’m swoon
and it happened so soon, with you

this feeling, I can’t figure out when you’re around
oh baby I’m a fool, got me awkward and new round you

tonight when I see you, I’m hoping I’m gonna be

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

you got me caught up in my feels
I’m trippin, I’m falling, I’m reeling,
oh baby, you know how I’m feeling

tonight, I won’t let you pass me by
cause I just want to feel
your head on my heart, your lips on my mind

tonight when I see you, I’m hoping I’m gonna be

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

ooh! smooth like butter…
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you

smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
I’m gonna be smooth like butter
when I roll up to you
