Though Marian Hill got labeled early on as an electro-pop duo, thanks to some of their viral hits, Lloyd and Gongol proved that they’re more than just catchy pop tunes and lyrics. Her voice was soft and alluring, but also strong, instantly commanding your attention. “Subtle Thing,” the first track off their second studio album titled Unusual, got their show underway and the hypnotic “One Time” came up next. Gongol’s charismatic stage presence stood out immediately as she danced and strutted across the stage. The words confident, suave, and seductive are what immediately come to mind when describing Marian Hill – and that’s exactly the aura that radiated from the duo when they began their performance. Unlike most concerts that tend to have a much longer intermission, Marian Hill’s show wasted no time. When Lloyd and Gongol set foot onstage soon after, everyone in the crowd went wild. Though a more laid back musician with a chill vibe, his raw sound and honest lyrics created the perfect balance to the more boisterous headliner.Īfter Michl ended his set, the stage crew hustled to prepare for the main act. Through the whirlwind of it all, they managed to continue creating new music, and recently put forth their sophomore effort, Unusual, on May 11th (Republic).The album further cements their impressive musical prowess, offering dynamic story arcs of pursuing individuality and falling in love with oneself, while dually acknowledging romantic partnerships and the various. However as his set went on, it was clear that Michl was a good match. At first, he seemed to be an unusual choice to open for a more vibrant group like Marian Hill.

The night started off with Michl – a singer and producer who oozes a calm and collected presence. Michl, who is known for his slow-tempo ambient hit “Die Trying,” has a quiet charm, speaking rarely and choosing to connect with the audience through his music rather than with his words. But numbers mean little to the duo, who brought their A-game and more when they performed at the Metro. Jeremy Lloyd and Samantha Gongol along with their saxophonist, Steve Davit, proved that two (sometimes three) people are more than enough to put on a powerful and engaging set. With the amount of pure energy and sound exuding from Marian Hill, it’s easy to forget that the group is actually just a two-person project.
