Songwriter(s) Carsten Schack ·
December 2008, saying "Everyone loves Alesha Dixon. Most people
are quite indifferent about purchasing her musical releases. As time Kenneth Karlin ·
goes by we probably have to accept this as fact, but songs like Harold Lilly
'Breathe Slow' do offer some hope that she might 'hit the mark' and Producer(s) Soulshock & Karlin
have a big proper hit one day."[1]

"Breathe Slow" (https://www.youtub
The video, directed by Max & Dania was shot entirely in black and
e.com/watch?v=0znEH8lbOw0) on
white, tells the story of Dixon breaking up with her husband, and her
YouTube
trying to regain composure and forget about it. She is seen entering a
quiet café, upon leaving she takes off her coat revealing a show-girl
outfit and leaves behind her wedding ring, then walks down a busy Las Vegas street. Meanwhile, Dixon is
seen dancing alone in studio. The video ends with her entering the stage door of a show with an Elvis
impersonator and two other show-girls stood outside. The video, filmed on location in Las Vegas, clashed with
the Ricky Hatton vs. Paulie Malignaggi boxing match and caused shooting problems as many British Hatton
supporters recognised Dixon, and subsequently crowds gathered in the street.[2] The video has gained over 10
million hits on YouTube.[3]
