“Go Slow” is an Afro- House love song. Traditional sub-Saharan clean guitar lines, classic deep bass, movement-inspiring beats and that iconic, driving Afro-House tempo - are the pieces that define OK Naledi.

“Go Slow” is about the risks of moving from friends to lovers,” explains OK Naledi. “Deep down you knew all along it was going to lead to two broken hearts and a bowl full of mistakes.”

The single calls to mind the vibes of South African house group Liquideep as well as Nigerian house artist Nonso Amadi. It's sexy vibe is sure to get your body swaying. Speaking on the video, directed by Dope Quality Productions’ Amissi, OK Naledi says, "This video in all its slow soft and dreamyness just feels good. It is saturated in that feeling of summer with all its romantic lingerings. Amissi just knew how to highlight and enhance this song in the video."

"It showcases Kimberly's ability to perform on screen and as an artist”, adds Amissi, “tapping into the emotions of the song perfectly. She delivered a masterpiece for which I'm grateful to have been a part of. It's something I hope for people to enjoy."

There is a lot of complexity when it comes to being a visibly Queer, biracial, womxn, artist who grew up in Botswana, South Africa, Malawi, Sudan, and Sri Lanka and is creating music in a Western demographic. It's important for diasporic marginalized folks to stay connected to their heritage and roots to push back from the on-going pressure to assimilate and fit in. This pandemic and all its boil over point occurrence exacerbated the importance of nurturing identity and infusing it in the music of OK Naledi proudly, powerfully and consistently.
