As on-top of new UK music as I like to think I am, every so often, a talented artist slips through the cracks. This unfortunately was the case with 24-year old UK singer/songwriter Tiffany Page. Page definitely has the look of a pop star, resembling Leighton Meester with a little bit of Stacie Orrico and Gabriella Cilmi. In other words, she’s gorgeous…but can she sing? To put it simply…YES. Girl can sing. Her sound is completely unexpected, much like Amy MacDonald. Pop, rock, soul…her musical style’s got a little bit of everything and I kinda like it. “You Won’t,” due out on September 27th is the third single off Page’s forthcoming debut album Walk Away Slow, due October 4th via Mercury Records.
Page’s debut single, the album’s title track, came out in March. Failing to chart, second single “On Your Head” was released back in May, peaking at #102 on the UK Singles chart. Disappointing. The album was originally expected out in August, however now it appears to have been pushed back until October (per Amazon UK). While I definitely like the rock & roll edge heard on “Walk Away Slow,” I prefer it when Page shows her sassy side in a song like “On Your Head.” The song’s still got some rock influences but it’s more fun. The single and video have a very Eliza Doolittle-like flavor which I really think works for her. “You Won’t” is a soft and beautiful pop ballad, showing off yet a different side of Page. I think it’s good that Page is showing her versatility here. Every single has had a different sound. Hopefully Mercury gets it right with the release of this new single. Tiffany Page is a talent that shouldn’t be squandered.
