Over the past few years, Harrison Storm has crafted a singular style, merging classically-inspired fingerpicking and sophisticated lyrics with a rich and soulful vocal delivery that is both intimate and explosive. With emotional honesty and sharply observed lyrics, the latest single "Be Slow" calls for quiet reflection when life becomes chaotic and overwhelming. Harrison explains, "it's very easy to get caught up in your own world and thinking patterns that can be tough to get out of. This song is about taking a step back and really trying not to get lost in the rush of life when it can seem to move way too quickly." Speaking to American Songwriter, Harrison adds, "the song was written and recorded in a cozy studio barn in the English countryside with Nick Atkinson and End Holloway. For me, it's a song written about when you've suddenly taken a step back out of your day or your week and you really notice that you're caught up in your own world. The pace of things seems to be rushing a little too fast for your liking, so you stop to re-assess."
