Elegant, playful and evocative: ‘Move Your Body Slowly’ possesses all the qualities of a worthy pop record. Built on eclectic disco-funk stylings, the record moves with charisma and confidence into soul and classic pop territories, wrapping the listeners into a sonic experience that’s highly rewarding, kaleidoscopic and cathartic, especially when it comes to Miist’s luscious and delicate vocals.
The San Francisco-based songstress elevates the single to a catchy banger, giving it a special character that we would define as spacious, gently ethereal and cathartic, while still championing its dancy, groovy values. Taken from Miist’s upcoming album, ‘The Songs From the Living Room’, ‘Move Your Body Slowly’ enlists the help of industry veteran and producer Narada Michael Walden, taking the record to the next level.
Miist relationship with her songwriting is rather special; having begun putting thoughts into musical form only a couple of years ago, she is quickly growing into an enlightened, nuanced artist, signalling a natural predisposition to creativity. As she explains: “It’s a difficult time we’re in. People are suffering in so many ways, so I want to bring some light to this world. Even if I’m writing about a subject that is dark, I always end with the feeling that we always have hope. That’s the connection I want to make.”
