Dom Major - Drive Slow (Track Review)


Birmingham's very own BabyWoman Records have offered up a release from another artist, having worked with the likes of the fantastic Charlotte Carpenter in the past they have a new single from Manchester's Dom Major in store for us.

Drive Slow is a melodic, in many ways, beautiful track that provides the perfect soundscape to any sunny or rainy day - in equal parts. Dom Major opts for a husky, low-key voice to take centre stage on the track and not only does this build into an epic guitar solo that is a little too short for my liking. It then crescendo's higher until it bursts, and we are left with Dom Major and an acoustic at the end of the song to see it out.

The track is genre-bending in many ways and sits somewhere between folk and indie - constantly flitting between the two. The song tells the story of someone not at peace with their life and how fast things are moving, it tells the story so beautifully that you could be enticed by it and gain an overbearing sense of sadness when it finishes.
