Year 7, Day 308

Morning! Today's song is Crush by Jennifer Paige.

 

Jennifer Paige Scoggins is an American singer active since 1995. The beginning of her career is hard to pinpoint because she's been singing and performing for basically her whole life. At 17, she toured with a cover band called Vivid Image before moving to LA. In 1996, she went home to Atlanta to perform for the Olympics, and also teamed up with producer Andy Goldmark and made a dance cover of an Aretha Franklin song, earning her a record deal. Her debut album came out in 1998, which is where this song is from. She did a bunch of touring before releasing her second album in 2001. She parted with her label, leading them to release a Greatest Hits in 2003, while Paige went on to write songs, one of which ended up in a movie. She signed with a new label in 2007, releasing her next album in 2008, and re-released in 2009 with some extra music. In 2010 she formed a band called The Fury, releasing some Christmas singles before changing to name to Paige & Palermo in 2012. She released a solo Christmas album the same year, then two EP's with the band in 2013. In 2015 she released a single on YouTube, and started crowdfunding on kickstarter for her next album, released in 2017. I imagine if she does another album it'll probably be done the same way so you can look at her social media and official sites for if that comes down the pike. 

Peace.
