Spring is feeling a little more rhythmic thanks to Jersey Shore singer-songwriter Chiara Maria, who has just unleashed her latest single, 'Bangin’ On the Walls'. This fresh track is a delightful blend of playful energy and smooth, jazz-kissed vocals, available now across all major streaming platforms.
'Bangin’ On the Walls' showcases Chiara’s signature style, where her rich, soulful jazz voice dances over a vibrant, contemporary production. The result is a soundscape that feels both whimsical and inviting, pulling listeners into a moment sparked by everyday life – a traffic jam, a burgeoning crush, and a memorable scene from the wildly popular fantasy series, 'A Court of Thorns and Roses'.
Chiara spills the beans on the song’s quirky origins: “I wrote ‘Bangin’ On the Walls’ while stuck in traffic on Route 9,” she explains. “I was thinking about two of my favorite book characters, Rhys and Feyre, and this scene where they bang on the walls so hard a painting falls. I wondered, if me and my crush were to do it, would it be like my romantasy books—and what would he even think of the smut I read?!”
It's the perfect tune for anyone who loves to lose themselves in a good book and wishes for a little more fantasy in their reality. Consider it your new go-to anthem for cruising with the windows down or revisiting those particularly spicy chapters.
Chiara Maria’s journey in music runs deep. Singing since the age of four and writing songs to navigate her emotions since she was eight, music is clearly an intrinsic part of her. The jazz and soul vocalist has graced stages at venues like WaterView Cafe in Barnegat, Jives Cafe in Howell, NJ, and New York City's The Delancey.
Last year saw her undertake an ambitious songwriting challenge, writing and posting a song daily, which garnered over 267k views across her social platforms. Known for her spontaneous creativity, Chiara often involves her audience in her songwriting process, crafting songs on the spot based on words they provide. Her aim is to uplift others through her music, just as her own musical heroes did for her.
