Pop Review: “God’s Own Speed” by STEINSDOTTER

Music Review:
“Οι σκέψεις χάνονται μέσα στην υπέροχη αυτή μελωδία και η συγκίνηση έρχεται μέσα σου βγάζοντας από το βάθος της ψυχή σου όσα μένουν κρυμμένα. Οι νότες σε διαπερνούν και μια εσωτερική έκρηξη γίνεται καθώς ο ρυθμός σταδιακά ανεβάζει τους τόνους. Τη μελαγχολία διαδέχεται ένα αναπάντεχο φως και η λύτρωση δεν αργεί να έρθει μέσα από αυτό το εκπληκτικό μουσικό ταξίδι.”

Steinsdotter Welcomes Mystical New Single “God’s Own Speed”
London, UK (March 14, 2025) – Steinsdotter, the enigmatic artist known for weaving sonic magic with deep spiritual undertones, returns with her latest single, “God’s Own Speed,” set for release on April 26. A captivating blend of smokey mysticism and raw vulnerability, the track takes listeners on an ethereal journey of surrender, self-discovery, and healing vibrations.
Drawing upon her signature use of sound as a healing force, Steinsdotter crafts an experience that feels both ancient and otherworldly. With intricate lyricism and a slow-burning intensity, “God’s Own Speed” unravels the artist’s deeply personal relationship with letting go—trusting the universe and freeing oneself from expectation. As the song builds, listeners will find themselves immersed in an almost animalistic experience, one that is deeply connected to nature and the unseen forces that guide us.
“‘God’s Own Speed’ is probably my favorite song that I have written so far in this lifetime,” shares Steinsdotter. “At the time, it felt like it was gifted to me from a place of calm and balance—a place I was longing to feel but didn’t quite know how to access in myself just yet. I was struggling a lot with my mental health a few years back when I wrote this, and music is always the medicine that somehow guides me through such dark nights.”
The song’s origins stem from a moment of creative clarity, arriving first as a poem, almost like a mantra of hope whispered from the other side. Later, in collaboration with longtime creative partner Agon Branza, the song took shape in the studio, evolving into a piece that mirrors the very essence of its name. “I feel like it literally came to me in God’s own speed—just when I needed it the most,” Steinsdotter reflects.
A true embodiment of a ‘medicine song,’ “God’s Own Speed” carries within it the vibrational energy of healing, a belief that has long been at the core of Steinsdotter’s artistic expression. “It may sound strange, but I fully believe songs can carry elements of healing in their vibrational signature. I’ve experienced many songs and melodies that have made a profound impression on me and sometimes changed me forever. My hope is that this song will find the hearts of those who need to hear it. Maybe it can bring a little hope, a little joy, or maybe just a moment of release.”
As deeply personal as the track is, Steinsdotter embraces the vulnerability of sharing it with the world. “To me, music is very spiritual. It’s a conversation between me and the source. And as much as I love telepathy, it’s not the main communication method for the human experience just yet. So I’m choosing to leave my fragile ego behind and just share for the joy of sharing.”
With “God’s Own Speed,” Steinsdotter continues her tradition of sonic alchemy, offering a track that is both deeply intimate and universally resonant. Fans can experience the full power of the song when it drops on April 26, available on all streaming platforms.
