The Slim Kings Embrace the Power of Patience on Soul-Stirring New Single “Keep On”

LISTEN TO “KEEP ON” HERE

Brooklyn’s own The Slim Kings make a quiet but powerful return with their new single “Keep On,” a soulful meditation on the strength it takes to wait, to listen, and to remain steady. At a time when the world is racing for answers and results, the band leans into the quieter kind of courage — the kind that stays rooted while everything else moves at breakneck speed.

Rich in vintage textures and layered with emotional nuance, “Keep On” offers a subtle but unmistakable groove that feels like a balm. Rather than demand attention, it earns it slowly, echoing the track’s central message: that sometimes the most supportive thing you can do for someone is simply be there — calmly, patiently, without needing to fix or force anything.

From the opening riff to the understated but resonant vocals, the song invites the listener to exhale. It’s not just about waiting — it’s about how you wait. With warmth, with presence, and with love that doesn’t flinch in the face of silence or uncertainty.

“It’s about knowing when to step back and when to show up. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let the answer come on its own.” – The Slim Kings

That quote is at the heart of everything “Keep On” is doing sonically and emotionally. There’s no rush here, no push toward a big, dramatic climax. Instead, The Slim Kings offer something harder to come by: music that trusts itself enough to hold back. That kind of confidence only comes with time and experience — something each member of the group brings in spades.

Liberty DeVitto, best known as Billy Joel’s longtime drummer, lays down a steady, unshakeable foundation. MSB, whose sync work spans more than 40 placements, brings melodic precision and restraint. And Andy Attanasio, known for his soulful low-end work with artists like Black Thought, anchors the track with a quiet intensity. Together, the trio crafts a sound that feels cinematic without being showy — a style fans describe as “familiar, yet fresh af.”

“Keep On” was recorded slowly, intentionally, in the band’s New York studio. Rather than piecing together a patchwork of parts, The Slim Kings let the track evolve, resisting the modern pressure to create content quickly. That process mirrors the song’s message: growth, healing, connection — these things take time.

The single is the latest preview from the band’s upcoming full-length album, SUPERLOVE, due out September 26, 2025. A 14-track collection, the record promises a rich mix of soul grit, retro rock attitude, and lyrical vulnerability. If “Keep On” is any indication, SUPERLOVE won’t be about chasing trends. It’ll be about chasing truth — in sound, in message, in feeling.

The Slim Kings have never been a band defined by hype, but that hasn’t stopped industry legends from taking notice. Fans of the group include Jimmy Iovine and Mark Ronson, both known for their finely tuned ears and deep appreciation for timeless grooves. But rather than aim for glossy perfection, The Slim Kings stay grounded in something more authentic — the unpolished beauty of human connection and emotional honesty.

That’s what makes “Keep On” so powerful. It doesn’t try to fix the listener. It doesn’t deliver answers in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Instead, it offers company. It says: we’re here, we’re not going anywhere, and we trust the moment — even if it’s hard.

With SUPERLOVE on the horizon, “Keep On” sets the tone for what’s to come: music that’s unafraid to feel deeply, to hold space, and to stay still when the world demands movement. For The Slim Kings, that’s not playing it safe. That’s playing it real.
