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. Marian Hill wrote 'Whisky' in the spring of 2013 and sent it to dozens of blogs hoping to catch some attention.

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.' Their unique sound combines sparse, minimal electronic beats with seductive vocals (which are often chopped up and manipulated) along with sultry saxophone. Marian Hill are a duo from Philadelphia consisting of singer Samantha Gongol and producer Jeremy Lloyd.
