Song of the Day: Set The Pace – Paige Rose

The feeling of being left behind while everyone around you appears to be hitting goal after goal in life leads to pent-up frustration and insecurities. Coupled with that overwhelming feeling that things are not moving fast enough, you’re wondering if the man upstairs will ever give you that moment to shine. Well Country Powerhouse PAIGE ROSE knows that feeling all too well.

Her latest single, ‘Set The Pace’, reflects her time where she felt stuck in a rut, comparing her stagnant situation to others who appear to be seamlessly moving on with life. Although it felt all the odds were against her, somehow Paige Rose held onto her faith, as deep down inside, she knows that God has got her back.

And indeed, He sure did…

After moving from her hometown Sioux City in Iowa to the epicentre of country music – Nashville- in 2017, Paige’s music career began to gather serious momentum. She quickly established herself as a compelling live performer, taking to the stages of the city’s renowned venues, including Song Suffragettes, Whiskey Jam, Listening Room Cafe and The Basement. Her accolades kept up the momentum when her single, ‘Just A House’ secured a place in the Top 100 Songs of the Year on KSUX 105.7. However listeners were introduced to her powerhouse distinctive vocals, coupled with that honest, cards-on-the-table songwriting through debut EP ‘Not All Girls’ (2022).The project’s standout track ‘Whiskey Drinker’ was recognised by The New York Times as “ready for radio.”

Her work has also earned visual support from CMT too, with Rose debuting multiple music videos through the network, including ‘Trouble’ and ‘Between Me & Jesus.’ Influenced by artists ranging from her childhood favorite Shania Twain to Fleetwood Mac and Alanis Morissette, Rose continues to carve out a sound that balances country storytelling with a rock-influenced edge.

So the moral of the story in ‘Set The Pace’ is to steer away from comparing your life journey with others, as everyone achieves their goals at a different pace, as the man upstairs will make sure everyone will have their moment to shine – and indeed he kept his end of the bargain and mapped out the very fruitful journey for Paige Rose.

Handshake In Space drops latest single, ‘No Other Beat Ever Hit Like This

Swedish electronic music producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE has dropped a banging summer anthem, ‘No other beat ever hits like this,’ out now across all leading music platforms.

Operating at a driving 124 BPM and composed in the moody, resonant key of 5A (A minor), the track is a masterclass in peak-time energy. But unlike traditional instrumental club tracks, ‘No other beat ever hits like this’ features an infectious, driving vocal hook that serves as a love letter to dancefloor culture itself.

With lines like ‘Every drop, every kick, every high / I fall in love with the volume again,’ the track perfectly captures the euphoric, near-religious experience of bass frequencies taking over a room.

“I wanted the lyrics to act as a mirror to what the crowd is physically feeling in the club,” says HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “When the bass drops, you aren’t just hearing it—you’re feeling it in your chest. That line, ‘Don’t nobody else make the room shake,’ is the exact energy we wanted to inject into this production.”

The single delivers a relentless build-up, culminating in a heavy, bass-driven chorus designed to shake club sound systems. Early tastemaker support suggests the track’s repetitive, hypnotic hook is primed to become a major summer vocal anthem for festival crowds.

Song of the Day: Magnificent Day – J.kas

It’s been a while since Steel City rapper J.KAS last appeared on this platform, but he’s back with ‘Magnificent Day’—a track that channels the spirit of hip-hop’s golden era while radiating gratitude and positivity.

Before the beat even drops, listeners are welcomed by his signature intro: “Nah then”—the iconic Yorkshire greeting that has become J.KAS’s unmistakable sonic trademark. It’s a proud declaration of his Sheffield roots, setting the tone for a truly distinctive cross-cultural identity. Blending the gritty warmth of a Sheffield accent with the rhythmic cadence of Jamaican Patois, J.KAS has crafted a vocal style that is instantly recognizable and entirely his own.

Hailing from Sheffield but built for the global stage, J. Kas is an innovative recording artist rewriting the script on UK music fusion. Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, his sound is a vibrant tapestry where Northern Rap and classic Boom-Bap collide with the infectious global rhythms of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Dancehall Reggae. This eclectic, genre-fluid style is rooted in a musically infused childhood where he was raised on a diverse diet of
global sounds a foundation that now fuels his massive cross-cultural appeal.

Driven by an infectious, high-energy delivery and fiercely positive lyricism, J. Kas has evolved from a staple of the Yorkshire underground into a major UK breakthrough prospect. His growth has been heavily championed by BBC Introducing presenter Christian Carlisle, who has long backed J. Kas as a definitive key figure in the program. This grassroots momentum has successfully translated into national and international rotation, with J. Kas securing vital
airplay on prestigious platforms including BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Music 6, and France’s tastemaker station MOUVE Radio, firmly cementing his place as an emerging artist with global reach.

Song of the Day: Vices – Arash Nejad

A sombre yet compelling drive introduces ARASH NEJAD‘s debut single, ‘Vices’, putting him in very good stead as a serious contender in UK’s alternative R&B/Neo soul scene. The single then flourishes into a fresh, sultry take on slow jam as we know it, with Arash’s perfectly paired vocal performance, vividly narrating his strong addiction on one of his greatest vices – his love interest. As the single unholds, you can feel an intense desperation and raw desire that lingers long after the single ends.

From listening to ‘Vices’, it’s clear that Arash draws inspiration from urban music heavyweights such as Beyoncé, Michael Jackson and Frank Ocean. Fans of these artists are likely to find his sound equally compelling, as he blends familiar influences with a style that feels distinctly his own.

With ‘Vices’ covering themes of love and addiction with such emotional depth, it’s exciting to see what topics he explores next. I got a feeling he’s got so much to say and this debut offering is just a tip of a very large and complex iceburg. His strong sound creates an airy mystery around him with little known beyond the fact that he’s based somewhere in South East England. As his musicial journey unravels, I suspect he will reveal a piece of his world one chapter at a time and in my book that is enough to hang around for his next move…

‘Vices’ is now available now for your pleasure…why not check it out below…

Song of the Day: Am I Coming Over Or What – Handshake In Space

Swedish EDM artist HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with the new single ‘Am I coming over or what’, a pulsating up-tempo club song about late texts, broken boundaries and that person you can never really say no to. The single, which was written together with American songwriter and producer Tim Heller, is out now on all leading digital platforms.

With a lyrical universe that follows a protagonist through a night at the club – from the crowded dance floor to that last question on the phone – the song captures the feeling of trying to set boundaries but still ending up outside the door of the same apartment time and time again. The verses describe how the promise to “draw a line” falls apart as the bass thumps, the city sparkles while the chorus culminates in the straightforward and vulnerable question that also gave the song its title.

The colorful cover reinforces the theme: a cartoon superhero character, wrapped in a glittering cape and with his fist in the air, becomes a symbol of the inner strength you try to mobilize – even when you know you might give in anyway. The pop art-inspired aesthetic reflects the song’s mix of euphoria, nostalgia and self-distancing, and makes the single instantly recognizable in streams and playlists.

Sonically, ‘Am I coming over or what’ combines HANDSHAKE IN SPACE’s melodic signature with heavy, modern club grooves and a vocal production that sounds as much after-party in the kitchen as it does on the main stage. The result is a song that feels as natural in a late DJ set as it does in a late night drive home – a soundtrack to all those times you’ve promised yourself you won’t go back, but you’re still standing there, “just this last time”.
