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.
