SOPHIE BRETON - Slow Driver

Quebec City-based singer and songwriter Sophie Breton has released her latest record 'Slow Driver' - a soothing yet charming indie-pop track that pursues a rather light sonic direction. Over a gentle, acoustic guitar-driven instrumental, Breton lays her dreamy vocals, so controlled and ethereal to even boast a certain ‘floating’ effect, hoovering over the track with gravitas and veiled euphoria.

On Rotation” Sophie Breton’s Dreamy New Record ‘Slow Driver’

Quebec City-based singer and songwriter Sophie Breton has released her latest record 'Slow Driver' - a soothing yet charming indie-pop track that pursues a rather light sonic direction. Over a gentle, acoustic guitar-driven instrumental, Breton lays her dreamy vocals, so controlled and ethereal to even boast a certain ‘floating’ effect, hoovering over the track with gravitas and veiled euphoria.

The record drives escapism and dreaminess with its minimal and lightweight production, while also delving into introspective and nuanced lyricism. In that regard, ‘Slow Driver’ explores the feeling of being 'behind' in life due to taking a different path from what society expects, with the lyrics declaring that it's okay to feel like a "slow driver in a fast lane" and make mistakes as long as you're trying.

This is Sophie Breton's first single of the year, following up on her EP release last year. 'Slow Driver' is a hypnotising offering that we are confident will resonate with a large audience out there. More to come - stay tuned.
