Kayla Marque's new single "Slow Burn" dares us to slow down and listen to something more profound and elementary. Released as a pattern of fire energy and feminine power in her signature rawness and soul-stirring artistry, "Slow Burn" is a charm.
A grunge-adjacent bassline bubbles below the surface, luring you into a trance-inducing track. It has a gritty, grounded, alive sense, as if something fundamental is stirring. And then Marque's voice is flexible, ethereal, and hard to predict. Her melodies unspool across the track like smoke, thickening, more intoxicating with every verse.
Untamed by design and wilful by instinct, "Slow Burn" is produced by Glenn Sawyer of The Spot Studios and Summer Dion. There's a self-assurance in its pacing, in the way it allows you to breathe between the beats. It's not clamorous, flashy, or tacky as it knows its power. And that's what makes it so powerful.
Kayla Marque has always roamed far beyond the survivable signature, and it feels as if this track is yet another bold step in her evolution. While her vocals are front and center, the mood of the piece, the slow build, the flickering tension, and the heat just out of reach stick around.
There is something genuinely alchemical about "Slow Burn." It doesn't shout but simmers, beckoning you to sit in your blaze. It's the type of song that comes to you in the stillness of the night when everyone else's world has gone quiet, but you know you have a spark deep inside.
With "Slow Burn," Kayla Marque gives us an experience rooted in self-awareness, divine feminine, and fearless transformation. And if that's to go by, we're all looking and waiting to see what she'll light next.
