Paige Warner – “Stockholm Syndrome”

Based in Owen Sound, this gifted Canadian singer and songwriter’s life was infused with music from birth. Thanks to her musician dad, who exposed her to jazz and blues, she learned to play piano, guitar and ukulele. She went on to play festivals such as NXNE and opened for MONOWHALES. Inspired by Eva Cassidy, Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars, she debuted with her EP “Revealed” in 2018.

Named after the psychological phenomenon where hostages develop feelings for their captors, her new single explores the similar state where the toxicity of a relationship feels like love. Despite the heavy lyricism, the song is a delightful amalgam of jazz, rock, pop and a touch of blues. With a breezy percussion, airy guitars and her striking, sensuous vocals, this rich tune offers a lot to love.
