HER And Skip Marley Team Up For The Rhythmic Love Song ‘Slow Down’

HER and reggae artist Skip Marley have joined forces for a new collaboration, a polished anthem called “Slow Down.”

“Slow Down” adds a modern R&B twist to a classic reggae-style one-drop rhythm. A thumping bass and smooth drums add a backdrop for HER’s silky vocals to color the heartfelt anthem. Expertly layered with synths, electric guitar, and the occasional trumpet fanfare, “Slown Down” tells of a budding relationship. “This kind of love don’t come around like this / I’m not one to play around like this, it’s so real / And I love how it feels,” HER sings. Over the intricate instrumentals, HER’s vocals melt with Marley’s to craft a sleek melody.

Marley and HER excited fans by announcing their new track in a video posted to social media. “Catch a vibe and listen to the new chune,” Marley wrote.

The song’s one-drop rhythm was originally popularized by Bob Marley, grandfather of Skip Marley. Though Marley’s name is recognizable due to his famous relative, he’s made a name for himself in music and garnered a large fan base.

Though HER hasn’t given any word to the release of her debut record, the singer has had her fair share of big-name collaborations. Ahead of “Slow Down,” HER recently released the Bay Area love-letter track “Slide” with YG. The singer also collaborated with YBN Cordae for the sultry track “Racks” and DRAM for the emotional ballad “The Lay Down.”
