“ELA Lindsey debuts with ‘Healing Me Slow,’ an incredible and gritty pop track that should put her on the radar of anyone with a good ear to the ground,” We Found New Music’s Nate Flaks wrote on Thursday. “This song is seriously awesome and floored me the first time I heard it. [Her] voice is gentle and innocent in the verses, yet intense and haunting when layered in chorus. The production is unique and ambitious with a metallic ringing that helps build energy in a perfectly disquieting way. [She’s] not afraid to utilize silence and space in a way that’s seriously refreshing. Pockets of silence in the verses and dropped percussion layers in the chorus keep me completely hooked and keeps my focus exactly where she wants it… I have no doubt this song will draw eyes and ears to ELA Lindsey’s dark new sound.”
