Summary

About this song

"Rise Slow" is a deep-house single by Kimo Sounds, the project of Moroccan producer Ibrahym, released on Spotify on 19 May 2026 under the artist's own name after its video went up on YouTube on 8 May. Its restrained four-on-the-floor groove carries a message about moving forward without hurrying, which the Japanese site Ragnet presents as a song of self-acceptance. The YouTube upload notes that it was made with AI-assisted music creation. It became the act's breakout: by early October 2026 it had passed 25.6 million Spotify plays and 33 million YouTube views, spawning bass-boosted and remix versions.
