I was excited and a bit nervous getting out of my comfort zone (bedroom studio) and working with new people,” Slow Magic shares – with Runn’s take being, “It’s easy to be overwhelmed by life, especially now, and ‘Breathless’ is really talking about taking a moment to try and recognize it’s okay to stop and take a breath.”
