SHY Martin – “Slow” lyric video
‘Slow’ kicks off what seems to be a big 2020 for SHY Martin, who spent 2019 releasing a string of singles and collaborations, solidifying her place among the top rising pop artists.
The emotive tune brings Martin’s lyrical prowess to the forefront. Also, the song contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and simple guitar-driven instrumentation.
‘Slow’ follows on the heels of Martin’s “Make Us Never Happen”, “Same Old”, and “Out of My Hands” singles. The songs are a precursor to her upcoming EP, which is set to be released sometime in 2020.
“My heart is struggling to not get hurt again”
“When I started writing songs, I never did it without my guitar. I spent hours and hours writing on my bed with it, and if not there it was on a little pier by a lake next to our house. A few years ago, when I moved to Stockholm, I stopped writing songs that way. This past summer, me, my brother and two of my closest friends and co-writers Nirob and Litens went to spend a weekend at my parents’ place in the countryside where I grew up. We ended up bringing the guitar everywhere we went. It was the first time in years I’d even held the guitar, but I guess going back to where it all started making me feel like nothing had really changed. ‘Slow’ was written during those days in the countryside. I picked up the guitar while we were eating breakfast one morning and started playing some chords. We were talking about how scary it can be jumping into a relationship immediately after a breakup. I really felt like I wanted to keep the feeling we had when we wrote it by keeping the production simple, organic.” – SHY Martin
