Music producer Slow Magic is no stranger to the spotlight, having thrilled fans around the world for years with his iconic mask and unique take on electronic music.
On May 25th, he returns with his new single “Avoiding Pain,” a track inspired and made during a difficult time in his life. Alongside the single, Slow Magic is proud to announce his next album Forgotten Feels, dropping this summer.
“What do we lose by avoiding our pain? I finished this song in the midst of learning that I had lost a family member. I spent a lot of time grieving and mourning for that person and reflecting on times in the past. There was a rush of nostalgic feelings and extreme pain that reminded me that we cannot go back to those times. Although I had been thinking about the meaning of the song and the vocal samples for a while, it became even clearer during my period of mourning. I hope people can find their own meaning and understanding in the words and music of this song and remember not to be afraid of their emotions, and to talk to others about them.“ – Slow Magic
Making use of his full range of musical skills, Slow Magic has proven his ability to intertwine profound, emotional sentiment into his creative output. “Avoiding Pain” is a song that you feel in your heart as much as you hear with your ears, as the ebb and flow of the track tug at the heartstrings and conjure memories from moments past. The anonymous musician has long been a vocal advocate for mental health, using his platform and music to support and inspire others to not be fearful of being themselves, sharing their emotions, and embracing the process of healing after hurt. “Avoiding Pain” fits that mold, hugging listeners in a warm swell of twinkling chimes and swirling melodies, encouraging them that whatever they might be going through, everything will be ok.
The announcement of his next album Forgotten Feels, his fifth studio album, will excite his loyal fanbase around the globe. He calls it a “reflection of the past and a glimpse into the infinite future.” Never one to settle for less, Slow Magic has built a reputation for staying true to himself, personally and creatively.
