about
Paige Morgan will never change, but that doesn’t mean she won’t surprise you. Just the journey of making a record has surprised Paige herself. The 20-year-old is ready to make her debut, and this summer she enters wailing with first single “Never Change” (out August 6). Co-written by the Vancouver production team Heratix (indie-pop fans will know them as Dirty Radio) it’s a perfect introduction in the first five seconds. Prepare to get slapped with a massive pop sound, a soaring but sweet voice and the Paige mission statement: “Never Change.” The song, she says, has a simple message: be yourself no matter what. So who’s Paige? Ask her collaborators and they’ll tell you she’s a major talent and kind of a pop chameleon: intuitive, versatile, “genre-straddling.” You can hear that gift in her vocals alone. On “Cutaway,” her croon is smooth, sensual. On “Never Change,” she’s a different character entirely, belting at full volume, charged with club-diva verve. As for the sound, Paige has always been an “R&B, soul kind of girl.” Etta James is a favourite. A pianist since childhood, she’ll obsess over a Stevie Wonder recording. But just listen to the record and you’ll understand she’s definitely a student of Top 40 pop. She loves Rihanna, Calvin Harris – and finds inspiration in how a few simple chords can conjure massive sound and feeling. For Paige, a single RiRi record contains a song for every situation imaginable. That mix of moods is the template for her own pop disc.
