In a middle school production of the Music Man, Samantha Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd played the leads Marian Paroo and Harold Hill. When their paths crossed years later, they formed an EDM duo that combines Jeremy’s technical wizardry with Samantha’s sultry singing. The Marian Hill formula: Jeremy lays down a beat over which Samantha adds several verses of her smooth jazz vocals which Jeremy samples. He then loops back those samples to augment Samantha’s singing with complex incestuous harmonies and jarring contrapuntal perversions. Yeah, that’s their song that Lil Buck is dancing to in the Apple AirPods commercial.
