After Aaricia's well-received come back with "Work All Night", she's now ready to showcase the project that she has been working on for more than a year. Closer is the first excerpt of her sophomore album (to be released at the end of 2018). It sets the tone of the album by portraying the misleading side of interpersonal relationships, the mismatch between what people say and what they actually do. The rhythm of verses is quite quiet yet sharp and give space to Aaricia's bewitching voice. But when the beat (produced by Max Gendron) drops people just can't help to jump!
lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just wanna be
But you call me and you’re moaning
Talking ‘bout your feelings
Oh
Just call me when you need me
In the the evening
[Pre-Chorus]
If I had to make a choice
I couldn’t right now
Cause I’m feeling used
I can’t
No I can’t
No
[Chorus]
You pull me closer and closer
I thought you wanted me
Wanted me cold
It’s getting harder and harder
Now the pain became a pleasure yeah
You pull me closer and closer
I thought you wanted me
Wanted me
Colder, colder yeah
Colder, colder yeah
[Verse 2]
I just wanna breathe
But you call me in the morning
Saying how you miss me
How you wanna hold me
You’ve been thinking ‘bout it
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I thought you wanted me
Wanted me
Colder yeah
Pull me closer and closer
Closer and closer
Closer and closer
Closer and closer
Closer and closer
Closer and closer
[Chorus]
