โCloser to Youโ by Moon and Aries is a sultry noir-pop dreamscape, merged in mystery, magnetism, and slow-burning desire. Released in 2025, the single marks a new high point for the transatlantic duo composed of Canadian vocalist Jordana Moon and German producer-composer Tom Aries. Known for their cinematic fusion of trip-hop, synthpop, and retro-futuristic soul, the pair step into darker, more seductive territory here, with a sound that would feel right at home in a neo-noir film or a smoky late-night lounge scene. Following their acclaimed trilogy of albums, The Arrival, Break the Matrix, and Transcendence, this track confirms that Moon and Aries are transcending genre itself.
โCloser to Youโ opens with a pulsating rhythm that instantly draws you in with a hypnotic, steady heartbeat of bass and percussion that thumps like the slow approach of something inevitable. Above that shimmer layers of atmospheric synths, drifting and glowing like city lights through a rainy window. Jordana Moonโs warm, tender, and irresistibly intimate voice enters, sensual and haunted. She sings with a smoky languor, every syllable drenched in tension and yearning, as if whispering secrets from another world.
As a meditation on closeness, both physical and spiritual. She sings, โUnder the glass, under the sheets, under these clothes you will find meโ merge imagery of vulnerability and surrender, while the repeated refrain โCloser and closer to youโ entrances us with a mantra of connection. The production keeps tightening around her voice, building to a cinematic crescendo before dissolving back into the dreamlike pulse it began with.
In short, โCloser to Youโ intoxicates as it seeps into your bloodstream.ย Listen to Moon and Aries on Spotify,
