Sylvee - Single Review: Slow

14 Aug 2022 // A review by Danica Bryant

Sylvee’s latest single Slow is an impassioned love song dedicated to supporting someone beloved through struggles with their mental health. Featuring the artist’s signature soft, introspective vocals and honeyed melodies, it’s a dreamy release soothing listeners in the toughest of times. 

Slow is produced subtly, with gentle keys and background noise filling out what lies beneath Sylvee’s important lyrics. She expresses a deep-set personal anxiety and care for the song’s subject. It’s all built around a smooth chorus which flows with tight, clean rhymes, stunningly beautiful in their simplicity. Producer Joel Zaia clearly knows how to stage the track so that Sylvee remains front and centre. Even as the notes climb into Sylvee’s higher range, Zaia leaves space to let the imperfections shine through, making Slow feel incredibly raw despite its distinctive pop polish. 

Tranquil yet emotionally loaded, Sylvee’s Slow is a divine new release propelling the Nelson singer-songwriter into an assured sonic direction. She’s a musical poet whose work blossoms under the weight of how much she means every word she sings.

Rating: ( 5 / 5 )

Tamaki Makaurau based husband & wife duo Charles & Emily Looker, otherwise known as Aro, escape genre boundaries on their fourth body of work, He Rakau, He Ngarara. Aro's waiata draw from country and folk, jazz, and shades of haka, making for a collection that often purposefully creates sonic whiplash in a stunning exploration of sound and kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga.
