One week out before Paige Stark is set to release her EP, Good At Love, she has shared her latest single “Ur Girl” along with the accompanying video.

Paige explains: “I wanted to shoot something that was beautiful and personal on film….just me in a beautiful space. I wanted the imagery to be like a sister to “Good at Love”, as I feel these two songs are connected thematically. And I wanted there to be an element of Sleeping Beauty in the woods. I asked my friend Aislyn Murray, who is an amazing cinematographer to direct. We shot on super 8 over one day in Los Angeles and I feel like it really captures the feeling and mood of the song”

Speaking about the video director Aislyn Murray says “Ur Girl is a very grounded yet elegant song, so we wanted to shoot it around nature in a way that elevates the feeling of the lyrics. Shooting intimately with Paige Stark on Super 8, through endless gardens, was meditative and encompassing of her aura as an artist and woman.”

Paige recruited Jon Brion to helm the EP, making him a playlist of sounds she was inspired by. “At first I asked him to help me finish one song. It was the title track, “Good at Love”. I recorded it as a demo during a Tashaki session. I had quickly recorded vocals, piano and a little drum machine I used to keep time. It was very raw, but I liked the vibe of it. I gave it to Jon and asked if he could help me finish it…I thought maybe he could add some keyboards. When I next heard it, I was floored. It made me cry. It was exactly how I always wanted my music to sound. And at that moment I asked if he would help me finish a few other things, and he said yes, and that’s the genesis of the EP. A couple things we started from scratch, a couple were started elsewhere and Jon brought them to their fully formed life.”

Throughout the EP, Paige’s vocals are front and center. Far less shrouded by reverb or effects than her previous work, allowing us to hear her more intimately. More of the musical dissimilitude of her eclectic influences are laid bare- Kate Bush and the Pixies. Harry Nilsson and Nick Cave. Judy Garland and John Lennon. Much of the EP deals with loneliness and romantic decay. “I wanted to make feminine music. The sonic female gaze. I wanted it to be soft but gutting. Women go through a lot. We love hard and carry our own wounds, and often other peoples’, and a lot of the time silently. I’m just exhausted by noise and violence and I want to make something very tender,” Paige explains.
