In this game called life, the feeling of moving too fast and becoming overwhelmed is all too common. Every once in a while, a reminder to stop and smell the roses is needed, and that is exactly the purpose that VUJA DAE’s latest single “slow down” serves. She tells her listeners that it's okay to take a step back and breathe, and that sometimes even she forgets. She explains that the song was originally an ode to the ocean, expressing her love for its peace and quiet. She was able to slightly adjust the meaning and open it up to all forms of calmness, like sunsets, driving down the PCH, and even vodka lemonades (whatever floats your boat, am I right?).
VUJA DAE starts her song with her chorus, automatically getting her listeners straight to the point. She sings “I feel like I gotta slow down / There's something ‘bout a little beach town / Making me laugh about all of the trips I wanna take”. Almost everyone equates the beach to a place of serenity and calmness, and she goes on to describe what it means to her in the verses. She sings, “Perfect recipe / Ocean breeze and sandy floors / Sun burn / You turn me around / Hydrotherapy”. The soundscape of this track is whimsical and fun, and perfectly reflects the lightness that VUJA DAE is trying to convey.
