Marian Hill are Jeremy Lloyd (production and writing) and Samantha Gongol (vocals and writing), a new electronic duo from Philadelphia. Combining influences ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Drake, the duo forge a unique electro/R&B sound with blues and jazz influences. The mighty Marian Hill announce new EP “Play” with the excellent new single “One Time”. Neatly balancing jazz influences in the melody with modern arrangement and rhythmic elements all while tying up the track within a compact and cool Marian Hill minimalist frame. The path to successfully blending jazz and contemporary sounds is lined with seemingly endless traunches of hokey garbage (Email subject line: Hey! Check Our Band, We Blend Miles Davis w/ Radiohead!) but the Marian Hill (taste and adeptness at selecting for the right arrangement help) sound just really really works. “Play” is out March 4th.
Marian Hill – One Time
Marian Hill – One Time Lyrics:
You know you’ve got that thing
That makes the girls all swing
You know exactly what you do
You like the hit and run
You say it’s all for fun
You think that I’m the one for you
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
I know I’ve got that sway that makes the boys all stay
I know the way that men can be
I like it smooth and slow
Give it some time to grow
That’s something you should know about me
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One more time, Play play the drum
One more time, Play play the drum
One more time, Play play play the drum
One more time….
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
Boy if you wanna go I would not mind
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One time, one time, one time
Boy I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
One one one one one time (repeat variation of this line)
But I’m not the kind of drum you play one time
