Slow burner 

A song (or performance thereof) that doesn't immediately impress you, but becomes increasingly enjoyable on subsequent renditions. Antonym: pop hit.
J-Dilla's "Donuts" took me a while to get into, but now I love it. It's a real slow burner.

Slow Burner 

Someone who it takes some time to realize the amazing-ness of. Someone that you become truly passionate for. Also, anything with this quality.
Kate is a total slow burner. At first I didn't think there was much there, but now, good God!
