"Closer" is a song by English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, released as the third and final single from her second studio album The Sea (2010).

Nick Day Slant Magazine gave a mixed review of the song, stating: "The moment the rhythm breaks, as with "Closer," it's a struggle to reengage with music that is so intensely personal, so overwhelmingly desolate and yet somehow unmemorable.

[4] Also in a mixed review, Tony Hardy of Consequenceofsound wrote "'Closer' finds the artiste in more of a classic R&B mode... the sentiments are bleak.

It features the singer as she performs the song in a dark room, bringing "a dreamy sensuous feel, perfect for a steamy summer playlist.

"We both thought about the feel of the song and independently imagined a slightly seventies look, Donna Summer sexy, abandoned roller disco fun".
