Zach John King Unveils Heartfelt New Country Track "Slow Down"

Zach John King, a rising country music star from Fayetteville, Georgia, has released his latest single "Slow Down" on January 10, 2025. This release marks a significant milestone in King's career, as it coincides with his signing to Sony Music Nashville, a move that promises to elevate his presence in the country music scene.
"Slow Down," produced by Ryan Wilson and co-written by King alongside Thomas Archer, Kyle Fishman, and Michael Tyler, explores the aftermath of a failed relationship. The song's narrative centers on a protagonist grappling with the lingering memories of an ex-partner, particularly poignant in the context of a small town where reminders are inescapable. King's rich, emotional vocals are complemented by a melancholy yet driving melody, showcasing his ability to blend country storytelling with a contemporary sound.
King's musical journey began in his hometown of Fayetteville, a small town outside Atlanta with a population of 18,000. His early exposure to country music came from his grandparents, while his father introduced him to a diverse range of artists through a preloaded iPod shuffle. This eclectic musical background has significantly influenced King's unique style, which combines elements of country, Americana, and indie rock.
King's rise in the country music scene has been meteoric. Since October 2023, he has amassed over 5 million global streams across just five singles. His music has gained traction on major streaming platforms, with placements on high-profile playlists such as Spotify's New Boots, Fresh Country, and Next From Nashville.
In addition to "Slow Down," King released his debut EP "Wannabe Cowboy" in May 2024. The EP, which includes tracks like "Smoke On My Jacket" and "The Way I See You," showcases King's storytelling prowess and his ability to blend traditional country themes with a modern sound.
As King continues to make his mark in the industry, he has also been building his team. He has signed with The Neal Agency for booking representation and Boom Music Group for publishing. His recent signing with Sony Music Nashville is expected to further propel his career, with the label having been supportive of King since the beginning of his Nashville journey.
