Marian Hill are a duo from Philadelphia consisting of singer Samantha Gongol and producer Jeremy Lloyd. Their unique sound combines sparse, minimal electronic beats with seductive vocals (which are often chopped up and manipulated) along with sultry saxophone. After releasing their debut single, "Whisky," in 2013, the pair made their Billboard debut with their first full-length release, 2016's Act One, which included the Top 30 single "Down." Second album Unusual followed in 2018, and the duo continued issuing singles like 2021's seductive "omg" and danceable "it never ends." Marian Hill wrote "Whisky" in the spring of 2013 and sent it to dozens of blogs hoping to catch some attention. The song created a buzz, and the following year, the duo released their first EP, Play, as well as a 7" single, "Lips." They received mainstream exposure when Romanian pop star Inna credited them as co-writers of her song "Diggy Down," which incorporated the hook of Marian Hill's "Got It." The pair signed to Photo Finish/Republic Records in early 2015 and released Sway, a seven-track EP. In 2016, the duo issued their full-length debut album, Act One, featuring the number 21 single "Down." The LP reached number 42 on the Billboard 200. Their remix of Billie Eilish's single "Bellyache" appeared in 2017. Early 2018 saw the release of the punchy single "Subtle Thing," followed by an appearance at that year's Coachella Festival. Marian Hill's second long-player, Unusual, arrived in May 2018 and returned them to the U.S. albums chart as well as charting in France. August 2019 saw the duo issue the single "Take a Number," which featured a guest spot from Moroccan-American singer, songwriter, model, and activist Dounia. The song appeared on Marian Hill's self-released 2020 EP Was It Not. After collaborating with Roman Kouder on "Bonjour," they released "oOo that's my type" with Yung Baby Tate in 2021. This was followed by additional singles "omg" and "it never ends." ~ Paul Simpson
