Slowdown by Broken Boy

We welcome back Broken Boy to the Yellow Label with the beautifully crafted Slowdown featuring Cora, and a remix of the track from aardonyx.

Broken Boy and Cora wrote this song right in the thick of the pandemic and they say - Honestly, it's a reflection of everything we were feeling at the time. Working with Cora on this project was a chance to turn all that confusion and restlessness into something tangible.

The lyrics capture that sense of disconnection that so many of us felt. Lines like "Call my name, call my name, but I won't hear it" and "You're all the same, all the same" really hit on that emotional distance that felt so familiar back then. And of course, the repeated "Don't you bring me down" — that's us fighting back against it, refusing to let it get the better of us.

But it's not all heavy. There's this undercurrent of hope and persistence too. "Hold tight, stick with me, it'll be a wild ride" — that's the kind of energy we were channeling. Life's messy and unpredictable, but there's power in riding it out. The way the music shifts and builds reflects that back-and-forth of doubt and determination.

For us, this song is about those internal struggles that don't always have easy answers. It's a reminder that it's okay to feel stuck sometimes — the important part is finding the strength to keep going. We're really proud of how it all came together, and we hope it speaks to anyone out there feeling that same push and pull.
