"'Take It Slow’ is a soothing and dreamy track with a beautiful blend of afro, jazz and amapiano elements creating a sexy dance vibe perfect for the summer.” - Ozonna
‘Take It Slow’ manifests as an upbeat, dreamy composition demanding groovy sax, tantalising guitar riffs and creative ear candy complemented by an effortlessly intoxicating topline. As the signature topline borrows the sinuous rhythms of jazz, fans are carried by an amapiano groove with sensitive ears being sure to prickle. Fusing teasing builds with Ozonna’s superbly smooth vocal, the uptempo, summery track is bound to get stuck in your head as the talent takes a deep dive into the sound of desire.
With a natural propensity for creating genre-defying bodies of work, this versatility is very much reflective of Ozonna’s personality and naturally, the ever-shifting emotions of his listeners. Entering a new era, with a sharp focus on creating feel-good excellence, the icon in the making envisions a multitude of creative influences interlocking to create a pure, unadulterated sonic experience.
