Get Close
Disclosure
Lion Babe — Jillian Hervey and Lucas Goodman — bring a neo-soul electricity to this track that interacts perfectly with Disclosure's structural precision. Hervey's voice has a vintage quality referencing Sade and classic soul while remaining entirely contemporary, and the production builds around this duality: classic and modern, soul and electronic, proximity and distance in productive tension. The groove is built from layered rhythms, percussion that pops and breathes, and bass that moves with physical intention rather than mechanical regularity. Lyrically, the request embedded in the title is both literal and emotional — the desire for closeness functioning as physical invitation and emotional plea simultaneously. The track has an unhurried confidence that distinguishes it from more anxious club-oriented material. This is music for intimate spaces, for parties that turn into real conversations, for the moment when a crowded room momentarily becomes just two people. UK house meets New York neo-soul in a collaboration that earns the genre boundaries it crosses, each artist elevating the other's native vocabulary.
