Dallas-based singer-songwriter/producer Mezzi Mae is bringing the heat with her latest track, Slowly. At first listen, it’s a delightful throwback to the golden era of early 2000s R&B. But don’t be fooled by the retro vibes; Mezzi Mae’s vocal delivery is as fresh and current as it gets.
Slowly is a creative blend of old and new, with the track’s foundation rooted in the sultry, smooth sounds of classic R&B, but Mezzi Mae elevates it with her contemporary vocal stylings. The result is an infectious melody that’s impossible to resist. One listen, and you’ll find yourself humming along, lost in the song’s sweet rhythm.
Mezzi Mae doesn’t hold back in Slowly. The lyrics are bold, intimate, and unapologetically raw. From lines like “Fck it, Can’t fck with nobody else” to “You know I like it rough, But give it to me slowly,” Mezzi Mae paints a vivid picture of passion and desire. The chorus is especially catchy, with its repetitive mantra urging a lover to move in sync, to take things slow, and to savour every moment.
Slowly is a mood. It’s the kind of track you play on a lazy Sunday morning or during a late-night drive. Mezzi Mae has managed to capture the essence of R&B’s golden age while infusing it with her unique flair. The song is a testament to her talent as both a songwriter and a producer. If Slowly is any indication, Mezzi Mae is one to watch in the R&B scene. So, if you’re in the mood for a nostalgic trip with a modern twist, give Slowly a spin. You won’t be disappointed.
