Ariana DiLorenzo, a New York-born indie singer-songwriter of Italian descent, who records under the stage name of Ariana and the Rose, was raised on a musical diet that included 90s pop rock-rooted favorites like Fiona Apple, Natalie Imbruglia, and Alanis Morissette, as she knowingly wanted her live shows to be "more than candy canes and pyrotechnics." Following the release of a couple of impressive buzz singles last year, including the lovely synth-driven "Heartbeat," a promising statement of intent that would soon captivate half the world. Ariana is now back with the second cut "In Your Bed," from her upcoming debut four-pieces EP "Head vs Heart," due out on March 23.
Taking sensuous vocals, building bass lines, and addictive sharp beats, this romantic song is hypnotically perfect, a perfect mix between the confessional lyricism of her favorite singer-songwriters (Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson) with the sound of dirty synths (Goldfrapp, Santigold) and the understated glamor of the French New Wave that she feels is best reflected in her sound. "In You Bed" is a synthpop masterpiece with lyrics "Lay me down slow/ Touch me all over with your eyes/ Let yourself go/ We got all night/ Just because I'm in your bed." It's time, she says, "for pop girls to be cool again. Pop shouldn't be a guilty pleasure."
The track starts off very bare with nothing but smooth "ba-ba-ba"s to accompany her voice. Then a sexy 80s synth pulse pops in and seduces you as much as all the sheet romping. And just when you get used to the beat, a sexy 90s guitar comes in and adds even more passion. The song ends with a Tron style outro, which is appropriate. You'll feel like you've been sucked into something magical, mysterious, and mindblowing. And you didn't even have to use a quarter. The vocals on this track will give you the chills and the drop just seals the deal.
"In You Bed" is a breakthrough song if we've ever heard one. start with a talented female artist, and think along the lines of Lorde, Sky Ferreira, or Ellie Goulding. Now for Ariana's twist: a sultry way of singing that doesn't feel dirty. She's full of power and in complete control, in the most beautifully effortless way. The clip for "In Your Bed" sees the songstress writhing around under the sheets as she breathlessly asserts her independence, over a cracking minimal electropop beat. Ariana is incredibly captivating in the video, and even though it's a very simple and common visual, her tumbles in the sheets just feel different.
