A fiery fusion of R&B and soul that captures the all-consuming power of love.
Australian-born singer-songwriter MARIANNA continues to shine with her new single, “Hold Me Closer.” Drawing inspiration from her Italian heritage, she merges the warmth of classic Neapolitan music and Italian pop with sleek, modern R&B, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly current. Her bilingual approach—effortlessly weaving English and Italian lyrics—adds another layer of allure, making her music resonate across cultures.
On Instagram, MARIANNA explained that “Hold Me Closer” is about chemistry and temptation—the kind of love that feels unstoppable. The track captures that passion through vibrant, sun-drenched production, driven by dance-ready beats and silky guitar flourishes that immediately lift the mood.
The song’s lyrics heighten the sense of desire: “Lo sai che mi fai impazzire / Lo sai che senza te non posso stare / Ever since I met you / I can’t keep my mind off you,” and “Oh, when we’re together / I get a feelin’ that I kinda wanna be here forever.” Delivered through her soulful, emotion-rich vocals, these lines perfectly express the head-spinning rush of infatuation.
With “Hold Me Closer,” MARIANNA delivers a fiery R&B/soul fusion brimming with summer energy and heartfelt passion—an irresistible invitation to hit repeat and soak in the heat of an all-consuming love.
