I've written many times that I am surrounded with extraordinary people. We are still so young and free, but time has flown by and high school happened already a while ago (even though it feels like yesterday). In the midst of this whirlwind that is pulling us into our own callings and destinies, it has been one of my greatest privileges to observe everyones journey and be part of the process. I know they are created to leave a mark to say the least and I can't wait for the rest of the world to see what they have to offer.
One of my people is this lady right here, Dea Juris. She's part of the duo Eda Wolf and they just released their first single a couple weeks ago. My girl Dea is one of the bravest women I know. After high school she decided to follow her dream and left for NYC to study what was always in her heart, music. She is an incredibly fascinating vocalists, the depth and richness of her voice combined with her influences of Jazz and good old R'n'B create a sound that I could listen to all day and night long. She's not just a beautiful singer, but also writes and composes as well. Dea partnered with producer FLWRS (Emiliano Flowerman) on this song for the first time and luckily for us listeners it didn't end up as a one time collaboration, but they will be releasing an EP sometime soon!
Dea wrote the lyrics while visiting her family in Lebanon. Slow Speed speaks about letting go of the pressure, familiar to many of us, of having to perform, achieve and succeed at a certain pace. Letting go of that striving and comparing since life is not a race and we all have our own path we're on.
Let this be an anthem for you to take those moments and "breathe deep". When life doesn't move at the pace you're wanting it to, don't despise the slow speed. Usually in those times deep process is working it's magic inside of us, making them our most defining seasons.
