Wake Up Paige Armstrong This is by far one of the
best albums that I have had the privilege of listening to in quite some
time. This album is a delicate balance of both message and music. With
hard hitting rock and a strong emo sound woven together with powerful
lyrics and incredible vocals, this album is a must for both Christian and
mainstream music fans. “Musically it has some
of the emo flair to it which I really wanted but it also has some more of
the hard rock, almost metal tones,” Paige explained in a recent
interview. However a great sound wasn’t enough for Paige. This album’s
lyrics needed a punch as well. “The songs are straight
from the heart and are filled with everything that I am passionate about.
I really wanted the message of the album to be ‘Wake Up, Don’t Waste
Your Life’. I wanted that theme to be evident.” There are some incredible
tracks on this album including the title track, “Wake Up” and
“Apathy”, which is Paige’s favorite track on the album. “I love
Apathy. Apathy is something that I am crazy passionate about because it is
something I see every day in my generation and it drives me crazy. It’s
a kinda tongue in cheek, in your face, song.” If you love Paramore,
Flyleaf and Switchfoot or if you are simply a fan of great music, you will
be blown away by this album. Don’t be surprised if you see some tracks
from this incredible offering screaming up the mainstream Top 40 charts. To hear a few songs from
