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.

OUT TODAY: Pop-powerhouse Jess Ball drops new single ‘Nightmare’

Australian-based pop powerhouse JESS BALL is kicking off 2025 with her latest single, ‘Nightmare’, marking her second release since signing with London-based Project Melody Music (Owen Cutts, Monster Florence, The Big Pink).

A dynamic follow-up to last year’s acclaimed single ‘That Way’, Jess’s latest offering delivers an edgier pop-packed experience that delves into the struggles of finding one’s place in life and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

Jess shares: “‘Nightmare’ reflects the trial and error of making life decisions, the self-doubt that comes with it, and the human tendency to desire the unattainable. It’s about feeling trapped in your ambitions while navigating the uncertainty of what lies ahead.”

Serving a strong bassline and groove-driven production, ‘Nightmare’ is a pop anthem for the modern grind, blending urgency and allure through textured distortion, siren-like soundscapes, and layers of hook-driven pop melodies. Jess’s distinctive low, honey-toned vocals glide effortlessly over the track’s pulsating rhythm, dripping with frustration and self-deprecating sarcasm.

For fans of Olivia Dean, Dua Lipa, and Tove Lo, Jess Ball is proving she’s a rising star in the global pop arena, bringing a fresh voice and dynamic energy to the scene.

Jess Ball is a Melbourne-based Australian singer-songwriter who began her love affair with music in 2009 at 11 years old. Her distinct sound blends influences from pop, indie rock, and hip-hop, drawing inspiration from artists such as Cigarettes After Sex, Olivia Dean, and Massive Attack, shaping Jess’s unique approach to indie pop.

In 2020, Jess made waves with her third release, ‘I Found You (Neptune)’ in collaboration with EDX. The track soared to Number 1 on the Future House Beatport charts and reached Number 38 on SiriusXM’s Electro top songs of the year, accumulating over 20 million streams.

Since signing with London-based Project Melody Music in 2024, Jess has continued to rise, with her first single under the label, ‘That Way’ garnering multiple Spotify and Apple Music editorial placements, including Pop Drive, Pop n’ Fresh, and New Music Daily, and expanding her reach to a global audience.
