Music video[edit]

The animated music video takes place in a desert setting and mixing elements from middle-eastern, african, asian and Jamaican cultures.[clarification needed] A flying Leila K and posse on a flying carpet arrive in a desert village. A blue genie appears from a lamp.

Critical reception[edit]

AllMusic editor Dean Carlson wrote that "Slow Motion" "spins out from under its foundational flavor of European techno-reggae and ends up sounding like a cross between M/A/R/R/S, Madonna, Mis-Teeq, and Big Audio Dynamite. Absurd and unquestionably wonderful."[2]
