Slow Wine is the new track from Ohio’s D. Watkins, providing a tremendous introduction to the performer. The cool beat is filled out with a bit of an island sound, while the smooth voice of Watkins is able to achieve a considerable range over the song’s run time. The bit of echo that is placed on these aforementioned vocals do well in tattooing them deeply into the minds and hearts of anyone listening in. Slow Wine is sultry, sensuous, and would be perfect placed in someone’s bedroom mix. There’s enough here that fans will continue to pick out different dynamics after a few plays.
