Ellie and her, Honneus duo-sister are writing songs that are anthemic well beyond their years. Their new song, “Slowly,” demonstrates the merits of persistence, emotional maturation and sibling synergy.
From the opening note, “Slowly” wraps listeners in a fragile but self-assured melody that reflects the duo’s growth as artists. Beginning to play instruments at ages four and five, their years of practice are apparent in the complex arrangement, as is the maturity of their lyrics, which somehow feel authentic and unguarded at the same time.
Ellie’s words are a masterclass in vulnerability, a tour through the complexities of coming of age and relationships, navigating them all at once. Lines like “we’re changing, but I can’t let go too fast” (or something similar, if possible) create universality and reveal a little bit behind the curtain (if at all) of the questions and emotions we experience in coming of age. But the delivery is personal, so it’s easy to connect to where they’ve come from.
This track is a story of growth, trust and the bond shared between sisters who spent years developing their craft side by side. With “Slowly,” Honneus provides listeners with something to sit with, contemplate and luxuriate in its gorgeousness throughout their musical voyage.
