SAM PAIGE – I AM SAM
With her debut full length album, ‘I Am Sam’, SAM PAIGE delivers her most personal and fully realized work to date. Across nine tracks, Paige invites listeners into the complexities of her inner world, blending the heart of country storytelling with modern pop sensibilities and unfiltered honesty. Rather than offering polished perfection, ‘I Am Sam’ embraces vulnerability, creating a body of work that feels as relatable as it is fearless.
At the heart of the album is the standout track ‘Anxiety,’ a deeply candid exploration of invisible battles and the disconnect between outward appearances and internal struggles. Paige’s vocal performance captures the weight of those experiences with striking clarity, while track “My Tattoos” explores the duality of confidence and insecurity, reflecting on self-expression, identity, and the nonlinear process of healing.

JULIE EDDY – WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
JULIE EDDY returns with ‘Where Does The Time Go’, an intimate country ballad that celebrates the quiet moments that define lasting love. Built around heartfelt storytelling, warm, understated production, and an unforgettable chorus, the song reflects on how life’s seemingly ordinary days become the memories that shape a lifetime.
Eddy shares,“‘Where Does The Time Go?’ explores the kind of moments that seem small and mundane at the time but end up making up the majority of your life spent together. “A continuation of the storyline from ‘BPM’ on my previous album Playing House, this song doubles down on the fact that a slow, peaceful love will stand the test of time over the one that feels like a head rush.”

THBENJ – COUNT TO TEN
After stepping away from social media, THBENJ used the resulting silence to reconnect with himself—channeling that stillness directly into ‘Count to ten.’ Grounded solely on a raw vocal performance and an electric guitar, the song is a direct antidote to our relentless hustle culture and the daily distractions of modern life. It’s an intimate invitation to take a breath, drop your shoulders, and tune out a money-driven world on your own terms.
In an era of constant noise, Thbenj deliberately resists overstimulating the listener— Leaning into space, dynamic restraint, and pure honesty over wall-of-sound production. Anchored by a refusal to “grow old into bitterness, ‘Count to ten’ is a quiet, fearless rebellion-showing that the best way forward isn’t running faster, but standing still, taking a moment to take a breath.
