This Valentine’s Day, Osaze & Marcus return
with a new single that captures vulnerability, longing, and emotional honesty.
“Close To U” is a smooth Afro-inspired love record built around one simple truth: sometimes, all you really want is to be near the person who matters most.
Blending melodic Afro-swing elements with heartfelt lyricism, the track explores distance, desire, and the frustration of missing someone’s presence. It’s not flashy. It’s not toxic. It’s not about games.
It’s about wanting something real.
A Softer Side of Osaze & Marcus
Known for balancing rap energy with melody, this release shows a more intimate side of the duo. Instead of heavy bars or aggressive delivery, “Close To U” leans into warmth, rhythm, and replay value.
The hook says it all:
“I just wanna be close to you, Girl I’m fed up of being alone, I just wanna be close to you, Girl I’m tired of talking on the phone…”
The repetition isn’t accidental. It mirrors the feeling of longing — the way certain thoughts repeat in your head when someone stays on your mind all day.
Built for Valentine’s — But Bigger Than One Day
Dropping on February 14th, “Close To U” fits the Valentine’s mood naturally, but it isn’t just a seasonal song. It’s designed for late-night drives, phone calls that last too long, and moments when you’re caught between independence and attachment.
Lines like:
“My sheets still smell like you”, “Girl I’d do anything for your love”
…bring the emotional tone closer to home. It’s relatable without being over-the-top.
A New Chapter in 2026
“Close To U” marks the first major release in a bigger run for Osaze & Marcus this year. With a headline show planned and a string of releases ahead, this single sets the tone for what’s to come — melody-led, intentional, and emotionally grounded.
Rather than chasing noise, the duo are building presence.
And “Close To U” is the foundation.
