“Honey Slow Down” by S.K.Wellington
For those of us who remember the ’80s, S.K. Wellington’s latest single “Honey Slow Down” is guaranteed to get your foot tapping. It has all the hallmarks of the era: a driving bassline, bright, atmospheric synth hooks, and an irresistible melody. And if that’s not enough to draw you in, here’s another hook—the song captures the rush of unexpected attraction.
We’ve all felt it: that dizzying loss of control when you fall for someone who upends your expectations. That emotional tension—wanting to hit the brakes while being pulled forward—is intoxicating, and the track captures it perfectly.
What’s particularly intriguing about “Honey Slow Down” is that it began life as a slower acoustic piece. Reworked into this polished, pop-leaning version, it retains Wellington’s introspective songwriting while pushing her sound into bolder new territory.
It’s a fantastic track, and to these ears, reworking it was exactly the right decision. That said, the acoustic version—also released as a single—has its own appeal, offering the same gorgeous melody in a more stripped-back form.
And it’s worth mentioning: S.K. Wellington has an incredible voice.
