In the midst of the well-known Drake versus Kendrick rap beef, Kaarmaa wanted to offer a calming alternative to the rap world. As a result, the gifted singer/songwriter created “Nice & Slow“, which is packed with tranquil vibes and an overall good feel that’ll leave you uplifted and relaxed long after you’re finished listening.
I created a very simple arrangement in terms of song structure – Kaarmaa.
“Nice & Slow“, although simple in terms of arrangement, does a fantastic job of depicting the feelings one experiences when there’s that special someone in their life. In fact, one of Kaarmaa.’s top priorities when creating his latest single was to show his listeners how fast desire can build.
One detail of this song that ensures listeners experience Kaarmaa.’s vision for telling a love story are the rap verses. The artist strategically kept his rapid-paced rap verses short and to the point. As a result, it helps the audience understand the love story and just how fast our lust for someone can build.
Unlike other love songs, this one doesn’t really focus in-depth on the struggles of being in a relationship or dealing with post-break-up stress – Kaarmaa.
Rather than honing in on the hard aspects of a relationship, Kaarmaa. chose to depict the beginning moments of a budding romance. That said, “Nice & Slow” describes the excitement and anticipation we often feel when meeting a new crush.
As the song progresses, the artist eventually focuses on forming his crush into a stable, healthy relationship. Essentially, “Nice & Slow” takes you on the journey of a new love; from the initial meeting to the burning desire to ultimately settling down and being comfortable with the person in your life.
This passionate concept only feeds into the bigger picture: that I am one hundred percent in love with what I do as an artist! – Kaarmaa.
“Nice & Slow” is a steady vibe you’ll want to add to your R&B playlist as soon as you can.
