MØ was one of my top three acts to see this past weekend at Treasure Island Music Festival, and she did not disappoint. Actually, she performed so well that she earned new fans. Despite suffering from an eye infection, she gave it her all. Her protective eye-patch fit in well with the theme of the festival: pirates, matey!
"Slow Love" is one of my favorite tracks by her, and I was very happy when she started playing it this past Saturday afternoon. True to her sound, the track pairs her barely understandable voice (a la Grimes) singing over innovative electronic beats. MØ sings,
-\-\-\-
Let me love you
All night long to a slow beat
Singing our song
All night long to a slow beat
Singing our song
-\-\-\-
As suggested by the title, the track speaks of wanting to slow down love so as not to let it come to its inevitable end too quickly. MØ wants to enjoy the ride for as long as possible. She wants to make love last longer. It's beautiful to listen to her comparing love to a song --- a song so good that you don't ever want it to end. "Why is the rhythm always making me high?" she asks.
Listen for yourself. Press play. And those visuals! All her background visuals during her TIMF performance resembled the one below. They were beautifully edited. My friends and I fell in love with them.
