London Producer/Artist Paige Bea Returns With Her Enchanting, Sparse RnB Cut "Melt"
/London-based songwriter and producer Paige Bea returns with her new single "Melt". The first new music to be heard since her 2019 debut EP 'Burnout', new single "Melt" teases the release of more new music to follow throughout the rest of this year.
Working with filmmaker and photographer Ben Cole (Sevdaliza, The 1975, Porridge Radio) and producers Leo Wyatt (aka KINDER) and Jonjo Keefe (Park Hotel) across her upcoming project, Paige Bea has gone through something of a reinvention in the intervening years between this and her debut EP.
Influenced by acts such as Tirzah, FKA Twigs, Jockstrap, James Blake and Smerz - new single "Melt" provides a vulnerable reflection on the emotional ups and downs of relationships. Opening with sparse arpeggiated synth pads interspersed with feathery sustained keys, the track builds to incorporate an electronically twisted groove surrounding Paige's captivating vocal.
Speaking more on the lyrical inspiration behind new single "Melt", Paige said:
"It was written in that phase where you're trying to pull away from someone but you're still vulnerable to them despite their emotional unavailability. The song’s key point is how a physical connection and attraction can override the ups and downs of the emotional one. “I melt with you, I lose all solid ground / I split in two, then three, then four, then five / So soft I’m barely alive”, when all is said and done, a burning physical connection with someone can often make the anger and acrimony simply melt away. It might be a mess, but you’re still waking up next to them."
