Music for slow running

Ok, so I run comfortably about a 7.5 KM/|H but the only music I have is about 6.45/7 so too fast for me. Any suggestions ?!? Thank you.

I'm afraid I don't think in kmh - I do minutes per mile - so I looked it up on a pace conversion chart, and it said your pace would be 12something minutes per mile ie 40min 5k.

But running cadence might be more important in choosing music
Do you happen to know your typical cadence for your target speed (some trackers show it)?

My current steady run playlist is a compilation of Motown greats - there are a range of tempos but they're not that fast, and they d get my feet moving.

I search for songs that are 160bpm. Favourite is Shake it off by Taylor Swift!

Spotify has running playlists made up according to bpm which is useful.
