Mariella - Go Slow (Single)
Singer-songwriter Mariella’s hotly anticipated new single ‘Go Slow’ is out now.
Mariella has grown to be one of WORDPLAY’s favourite upcoming artists. Having graduated from BIMM at seventeen with a song-writing degree, Mariella has been making her mark in the London live scene, and claiming her space in the UK’s one-to-watch list ever since. With her last two singles ‘Disconnect’ and ‘Naturally’ being featured on Spotify’s New Music UK, her latest single ‘Go Slow’ is sure to provide the sensual, soulful vibes our sentimental hearts have grown to expect from Mariella.
Mariella has long since noted Lianne La Havas, Lauryn Hill, and Bonnie Raitt as influences, yet her style has developed into something entirely personal. Mariella aims to balance romantic, breathy, and soulful vibes to accompany us on our paths toward healing and self-growth. Mariella’s ‘Go Slow’ is sensitive, passionate, and sassy and is sure to provoke feelings of euphoria. Her songwriting abilities seem to be taking on new heights, allowing her visual storytelling to wrap us up in her musical magic.
‘Go Slow’ has already been a huge hit on TikTok, quickly racking up over 3 million views and awarding her almost 10,000 new followers within 8 weeks. Mariella also shared a sped-up version to her SoundCloud, which hit over 50,000 streams in just 30 days.
‘Go Slow’ captures the airy and graceful quality of Mariella’s vocals, moving fluidly within the atmospheric, R&B-inspired beat. Her voice washes over us and combines with angelic chords, creating a sense of warmth at every high and low. The lyrics ‘Cause I don’t go slow, I can’t wait for a minute to unfold’ come through with an ethereal quality, as light as a whisper, creating a beautiful ambience. ‘Go Slow’ Takes you on a whimsical, musical journey with the pace and rhythm peaking at the perfect points. ‘Go Slow’ will melt you down into a pool of dreamscape bliss and make you not want to get back out again.
The highly anticipated and sought-after single ‘Go Slow’ sees a full release to all streaming platforms on the 3rd of April, accompanied by the sped-up version and a bespoke lyric visualiser shot by her creative partner and sister in Lisbon, Portugal.
