Sara Evans is excited to be getting back in the thick of the music business with the release of a music video for her emotional new ballad "Slow Me Down," the lead-off single and title track from her forthcoming seventh studio album, which will be released on March 4. It's been almost three years since Evans released her last album, "Stronger," and she's more than ready to bring new music to her fans. "I am so excited to have some new music out. We're finishing the album up in October," the 42-year-old powerhouse songstress said.
"Slow Me Down" is a mid-tempo country ballad, backed by plucked strings and guitar. The song is sung from the perspective of a woman threatening to walk out on her man, finishing by saying that if he has something to say that he should "hurry up and slow [her] down." Speaking of the song with Billboard, Evans said: "There's definitely something about it. That's what we all felt when we heard it. When they pitched it to us, it was so emotional and the thought of 'Hurry Up and Slow Me Down' is one of the best lines I have heard in a song in so long. I'm very lucky they pitched it to me."
Evans also told The Boot that she was excited about the recording process: "I love songs that evoke emotion - it really is what connects people to the music. When we went into the studio to record ['Slow Me Down'] my main goal was to capture the desperation and passion in the song - to strike a balance between a strong vocal and the emotion that would pull in the listener." The song seems poised to follow in the long line of successful ballads for the singer, who gives the song all she's got, delivering a forceful performance of the chorus while rendering the song's title phrase with a plaintive trill.
Directed by Peter Zavadil, and was shot primarily at Club Anthem in Nashville, Tennessee last September, the angsty, emotional clip begins with Evans in a wedding dress before cutting to her and her significant other, played by NASCAR driver Carl Edwards, arguing in their high rise. As the video continues, it's clear there is trouble in paradise. Edwards is glued to his phone while Evans vies for his attention before realizing she's fighting a losing battle. Does he convince her to stay or does she finally walk away? Watch the video below to find out!
