"Slow Motion" is a song by Swedish Eurodance singer and former rapper Leila K. It was released in 1993 as the third single from her solo-album, Carousel. The song is produced by Denniz Pop and Douglas Carr and peaked at No. 27 on the Swedish single chart and at No. 26 in Austria.[1]
The animated music video takes place in a desert setting and mixing elements from middle-eastern, african, asian and Jamaican cultures. A flying Leila K and posse on a flying carpet arrive in a desert village. A blue genie appears from a lamp.
AllMusic editor Dean Carlson wrote that "Slow Motion" "spins out from under its foundational flavor of European techno-reggae and ends up sounding like a cross between M/A/R/R/S, Madonna, Mis-Teeq, and Big Audio Dynamite. Absurd and unquestionably wonderful."[2]
