Bronx Native JE.AD, a rising artist in Alternative R&B, shares a deeply personal and timely message in his new single, “Slow Down” as a part of his first EP “Realization”. The EP was released on April 30, 2025 across all major streaming platforms.
Rooted in his own experiences with burnout, “Slow Down” explores the emotional and spiritual journey of learning to step back, breathe, and trust in something greater. Through soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics, JE.AD opens up about the toll of constantly striving and the peace he found when he chose to lean on his faith and take care of his mental and spiritual well-being.
“After so many moments of exhaustion and feeling like I had to keep producing to stay relevant, I realized I was losing myself,” says JE.AD. “This song is my reminder — and hopefully a reminder to others — that it’s okay to slow down, to trust God’s timing, and to prioritize our own healing.”
In a world that celebrates hustle culture and endless productivity, “Slow Down” offers a needed alternative: an invitation to move at a more intentional, sustainable pace.
