This track was released by the British heavy metal band The Raven Age.
They have created many dark songs inspired by legends and folklore, and that darkness is very much present here as well.
A weighty narrative unfolds in step with the fierce sound.
With many phrases that spark the imagination, you can enjoy it almost like reading a novel.

Slow Dance (feat. Ava Max)AJ Mitchell
The vocal back-and-forth, like a conversation between two people, is wonderful, and it’s a beautiful song that depicts a dreamlike moment spent with a lover.

If you’re looking for a refreshing, danceable love song, this is the one.
It’s a duet by AJ Mitchell and Ava Max.
While dance culture isn’t very widespread in Japan, there’s nothing more romantic than letting the music carry you and swaying slowly together—so try dancing with someone you love.
