La stella emergente dell'R&B Paria vuole avvicinarsi a te!

Paria is back, with another emotional old-school rnb track, the up and coming R&B sensation delivers another emotionally charged song with her latest single, Close to You. After blessing fans with standout tracks like “Fanatic”, “Lowest” and “Overly Attached,” Paria continues to blur the line between vulnerability and strength, crafting music that lingers in the soul long after the last note fades.

A hypnotic blend of classic R&B melodies and stripped-back production, Close to You is an intimate confession of emotional entanglement—wanting someone you know you shouldn't, yet being unable to resist. Paria’s vocals glide over the soothing beat made by Botaii, effortlessly capturing the torment of desire and the inevitability of heartbreak.

With echoes of Jorja Smith’s sultry delivery and the delicate intensity of Snoh Aalegra, Paria’s performance is both raw and mesmerising. The chorus—“What am I supposed to do when I already know it’ll all be over soon, and I’ll be over you?”—is a gut-punch to anyone who’s ever been trapped in an intoxicating but doomed connection.

Close to You lures you in with its moody soundscape, keeps you hooked with its haunting melodies, and leaves you reflecting on your own late-night thoughts. With this release, Paria dares to be vulnerable, honest, and unforgettable. 

ABOUT Paria

Born in Tabriz, one of Iran's coldest cities located far north, artist and songwriter Paria now based in Oslo, Norway grew up feeling distanced from her own culture. Despite the government's strict rules against women, Paria found solace in music, which became a way for her to express her feelings.

She spent countless hours watching 00's R&B and hip hop music videos, honing her craft in the privacy of her bedroom. After moving to Turkey and then to Norway, she finally was able to release music and dive into exploring her passion.

Paria's music is timeless and rich with experiences from a diverse upbringing. Her melodies and lyrics speak of truth, love, and self-growth. The most central elements in her music are her layered and relatable lyrics. 

With 2 songs in no.1 Netflix series in Scandinavia "Home For Christmas 2", features on stations such as BBC, NRK P3, and YleX, support from the likes of Earmilk & CLASH and live performances at Norwegian festivals with over 10,000 attendees, Paria is definitely one to watch in 2025.
