The UK’s most electrifying new voice, slowthai shares his exceptional new track ‘Peace of Mind’.
Following the punk- influenced ‘Doorman’ (produced by Mura Masa) which came out last year, slowthai has continued to grow from strength to strength coming fourth in BBC’s coveted ‘Sound of 2019’ list. Another brilliant shift in gear for the Northampton born and bred artist, ‘Peace of Mind’ sees slowthai tackle the idea of what kind of life is out there for people like him. A British voice for the generation ahead, slowthai’s lyrics cut through with a rawness and unflinching honesty that has the listener hanging on every word and has seen radio tastemakers Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe and Benji B all jump on board and YouTube and VEVO pick him as a ‘One To Watch’ for 2019.

The video for ‘Peace of Mind’ is also revealed today and sees slowthai in a repetitive ‘Groundhog Day’ style dream sequence, living out a different concept each day. This visual follows a string of impressive videos slowthai has delivered, always ensuring his creative is as impressive as his music.
With an unforgettable live presence, slowthai’s shows see fans leaving drenched in sweat and smiles. Having sold out his UK and European tour last September, slowthai recently announced a brand new ‘Brexit Bandit’ tour for the UK and Europe in the Spring along with a number of European festivals throughout the summer including Reading & Leeds, Parklife, Pukkelpop, Longitude and Primavera Sound, with more to be announced.
