Early press & first reactions to Slowly Through the Night
Since the release of Slowly Through the Night, it’s been really encouraging to see the track start to find its way into the world, and even more so to read how it’s being received by independent music writers and platforms internationally.
A small but meaningful wave of press has begun to emerge, and while more coverage is on the way, these first responses already feel like a strong reflection of what the track set out to do.
Thoughtful, emotional listening
In their review for Illustrate Magazine, the track is described as "immersive and emotionally charged, with a focus on atmosphere and restraint rather than spectacle." The piece highlights the way Slowly Through the Night unfolds gradually, allowing space for reflection and feeling rather than rushing to a payoff.
They note how the song leans into vulnerability, pairing understated production with lyrics that feel personal and lived-in, a combination that invites the listener to sit with the track rather than consume it quickly.

Brazilian platform Rádio Armazém approaches the track from a slightly different angle, centring their review on themes of resilience and emotional resistance. Their article frames Slowly Through the Night as a response to uncertainty, music that acknowledges heaviness without being consumed by it.
They describe the track as "introspective and grounded, emphasising how its calm delivery carries strength rather than fragility." There’s a real appreciation for the balance between softness and resolve, and for how the song communicates endurance without drama.

Whats resonating so far
Across these early reviews, a few shared threads are already becoming clear:
Emotional honesty – both articles respond to the sincerity of the track and its refusal to over-polish or over-explain.
Measured pacing – the slow build is repeatedly noted as intentional, mirroring the emotional movement of the song itself.
Atmosphere over noise – space, restraint and mood are doing the heavy lifting, allowing listeners to project their own experiences onto the track.
Resilience as a quiet force – strength isn’t shouted here; it’s carried calmly through the night.
Looking ahead
This is just the beginning. More press and features are due to be released soon, and it’s exciting to see Slowly Through the Night starting conversations in different places, languages and contexts.
Thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, written, and taken the time to sit with the track. It means more than you know.
