SLOWTRAINSOUL is an eclectic European twosome comprised of Lady Z, a London-based, multiethnic jazz chanteuse with an ear for rhythm and a resonant vibrato and celebrated Danish uber-producer Morten Varano. Lady Z embraces the deep tradition of her Trinidadian roots, breathing life into poignant lyrics that reach for the underbelly of urban life, prostitution, murder, despair and broken, twisted love, all set to Varano’s heartbeat of urban electro-pop.
SLOWTRAINSOUL’s wholly unique blend of old school jazz and cutting edge electronica is already a sensation in London, Paris, Milan and Copenhagen and their sound is being etched into urban America’s consciousness, reverberating in hipster hotels, elegant boutiques and hot bars and restaurants as part of the prestigious Hotel Costes and Buddha Bar compilations.
With the band’s singular mindset, it’s no wonder that their soulful music is being used to create unparalleled atmospheres. “I want music that effects a mood, music that people can identify with, like a collective thought, energy or experience,” Lady Z rhapsodizes “I want music for all of the senses.” Indeed, SLOWTRAINSOUL’s sound is so richly textured, it is not only heard, it is felt and seen, creating an aural experience like nothing else.
