Slowe - How Hard Can It Be? (Single)

Slowe returns with “How Hard Can It Be?”, her first release since last year’s quietly brilliant debut Where The Mind Wanders. Warm, introspective, and unmistakably hers, the track feels like the start of a new chapter, one that leans further into self produced soul while sharpening its focus.

Built around swirling chords, lilting live drums, and Slowe’s signature ethereal vocal, the song captures the low level hum of anxiety, the overthinking, the self doubt, the frustrating question of why being “normal” can feel so hard. Recorded live with a full band for the first time and co produced with longtime collaborator Laurence Fazakerley Buglass, it has a richness and ease that gently contrasts its lyrical tension.

Drawing from the golden glow of seventies soul, pop, and lovers rock, “How Hard Can It Be?” balances nostalgia with modern intimacy. It’s reflective without being heavy, music for late nights, long drives, and moments where your thoughts get a little too loud.

A quietly confident step forward, this new single deepens Slowe’s world rather than reinventing it, and that’s exactly what makes it resonate.
