What a jubilant surprise Gabrielle Alpin
has gifted us with in anticipation of her new album Avalon. Waking Up Slow
is a romp through ecstatic emotions, filled to the brim with clever mainstream pop sensibilities. The Lostboy produced track sees Alpin glide triumphantly over what could certainly turn into a dancefloor filler.
All my nights taste like gold
Yeah when I'm with you it's like everything glows
All my days we can lay low
Yeah when we're waking up, we're waking up slow
What a lovely musical sentiment to the one that makes your heart beat skippingly. Summer's been longing for a tune that gets romance down to the beat of a steady dance drum. I dare say this is that track. Sweetly nuanced, delicately pulsating, and bursting with infectious lyrics and melody; Waking Up Slow is an immediate addition to our playlist. It should equally be to yours as well.
Alpin is gearing up for a slew of tour dates in the US, the UK, and Canada. So there's a huge chance that you'll get to see her render Waking Up Slow live. But before you do, you can hear it here first.
