Slow It Down is the first single to be lifted from the Scottish singer/songwriter third album, Life in A Beautiful Light, due for release here in the UK on the 11th June (8th June for Germany). Sadly the powers that be have yet to allow the single to be released here in the UK (although it is slotted for release on the 11th June…funny that!), but over in Germany, fans can lay their hands on the physical single.
It’s a 2 track, backed with the album track Human Spirit. But let’s talk about the main track here, Slow It Down. She admits herself that the song is about her being a petrolhead. It’s a driving song that both that will have your foot tapping and come tour time, arms in the air clapping. There are some notes that may take fans by surprise in it, but it shows how far she’s come since the debut back in 2007.
Human Spirit is the second track here and as we said previously, features on the album as well. Inspired by the events surrounding the Chilean miners, the song is full of beautiful strings and contrasting that could be viewed as what was happening with the miners (The world kept going and nobody could see / The hell that was happening, too hard to see / And I'll shed a tear /For you) to how the rest of the world is (And all the while we're still thinking bout ourselves / Worrying bout money and stressing about wealth)
Both are beautiful tracks and show that Amy is still her and that 6 years on that nothing truly has changed for her. The emotion is still there as too the inspiration. Hopefully the rest of Life In A Beautiful Light will live up to expectations.
Rating: 5/5
