“Burn slower slow burner
I don’t wanna miss a thing”
May 18, 2026 — After introducing listeners to the liberating glow of “CHAMPAGNE FLYING,” Thai artist VARITDA returns with “SLOW BURNER” — the second taste from her upcoming Album CHAMPAGNE CHERRY, a project that blends contemporary pop R&B with refined jazz influences through an international-scale production.
Released under Melodic Corner, a label under Music Move Co., Ltd., CHAMPAGNE CHERRY represents VARITDA’s boldest artistic direction yet: emotionally intimate, sonically sophisticated, and carefully crafted with collaborators from across the global music scene. Every stage of the production — from songwriting and recording to mixing and mastering — was shaped with meticulous attention to detail.
The journey began with “CHAMPAGNE FLYING,” a feel-good anthem about moving on gracefully after heartbreak and celebrating the freedom that follows. Wrapped in pop R&B with touches of hip-hop rhythm, retro soul textures, and contemporary jazz sensibilities, the track introduced the album’s sparkling personality with confidence and charm.
Now, the story deepens with “SLOW BURNER,” a track that embraces patience, emotional tension, and the beauty of letting love unfold naturally. Built around a laid-back groove, subtle instrumental layers, and intimate late-night energy, the song captures the feeling of choosing connection over urgency — where every moment lingers long enough to leave a lasting impression. Staying grounded in pop R&B while weaving in jazz elements, “SLOW BURNER” reveals a softer, more emotionally nuanced side of the album.
At its core, CHAMPAGNE CHERRY revolves around the theme of “Confession” — the quiet unraveling of emotions and inner thoughts. The album draws a metaphor between life and a cherry resting inside a glass of champagne: slowly absorbing its surroundings, softening over time, and eventually revealing a richer, more honest version of itself. In the same way, the project explores how people gradually open up when the timing, atmosphere, and emotions feel just right.
Beyond the music itself, both “CHAMPAGNE FLYING” and “SLOW BURNER” are accompanied by visually driven, fashion-film-inspired music videos that extend the storytelling through symbolism, mood, and cinematic aesthetics.
Further elevating the project is its internationally renowned creative team. British producer Nick Tsang — whose credits include Backstreet Boys, Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX, and Jess Glynne’s 5x Platinum hit “Take Me Home” — played a key role in shaping the sound of the album. The project also features acclaimed engineers Charlie Holmes (Mixing Engineer) and Simon Francis (Mastering Engineer), known for their work on The Art of Loving by Olivia Dean.
All tracks from CHAMPAGNE CHERRY were recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London — the iconic studio where The Beatles created some of the most influential music in modern history.
