MARIO | CLOSER (Animated Visual)

Watch Mario's animated video for his new single "Closer" now!
The animated music video for MARIO’s new single “CLOSER” represents a fresh, artistic approach to MARIO's visuals. CLOSER touches on the dark yet beautiful path of getting closer to someone you are deeply attracted to. This is expressed in the music video through a combination of suggestive visuals and shadow play. MARIO and a sexy dancer are represented as silhouettes, dynamically intercut with symbolic imagery that suggests attraction and intensity, tension and sensuality for a provocative, moody, visually striking, and unexpected experience.
"Closer" Lyrics:
HOOK
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Closer to you
Cause if you come closer
Cause if you come closer
Girl if you come closer
There’s so much we can do
VERSE 1
Take it off
Let’s mess up the bed, Don’t make it up
Separate your legs, two worlds apart
Nobody does it like you
Nah baby nah
Every night, don’t stop,
Damn girl, you do me right
Tell me, how you, know what I like
Now I just can’t keep my cool, yeah
B SECTION
I think me and you should skip the 4 play
Baby I’ve been waiting on you all day
Honestly I think we had enough space girl
HOOK
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Closer to you
Cause if you come closer
Cause if you come closer
Girl if you come closer
There’s so much we can do
VERSE 2
Wake it up, espresso, coffee
Don’t need a cup
Put your lips on me, lick it up, (lick it lick it)
Cause you the only one that turns me on
Never want you to go away
I want you all in my face
Need to know how good it tastes, baby
Every night and every day
I want you in every way
B SECTION
I think me and you should skip the 4 play
Baby I been waiting on you all day
Honestly I think we had enough space girl
HOOK
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Closer to you
Cause if you come closer
Cause if you come closer
Girl if you come closer
There’s so much we can do
B SECTION
I think me and you should skip the 4 play
Baby I been waiting on you all day
Honestly I think we had enough space girl
HOOK
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Closer to you
Cause if you come closer
Cause if you come closer
Girl if you come closer
There’s so much we can do

[@1000VC]

Yes! Dancing shadows is my go to, from “Drowning” to “I Believe”, I repeat the whole album until somebody in the house gets tired of hearing it, I never do😆 my favorite is “one man woman”, I never knew he was so deep, there’s a wealth of wisdom beyond his years. I’m excited for this new project he is working on!

[@smiller0612]

:Olga -Jemelia Yes❗️ I know he’s opened up his mother’s struggles with drugs(I hope she’s resting peacefully), his struggles with women in the past due to that and where he’s from. But now I feel like we’re learning the depths of him as a person. Being that he’s been independent for awhile, which makes him in control. I’m all here for it.
