But flying was an obsession that started young.” It’s a fixation that permeates his forthcoming sophomore album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf I Fail Are We Still Cool, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ea collection of tenacious affirmations stitched together with in-flight interludes and an unshakable sense of ascension.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat initially began as the makings of an EP quickly amassed into something more like a revelation once he wrote the hook-heavy “So They Say.” “I never trusted myself to write hooks, but once I wrote that, it was like, ‘oh shit, I can do this. I’m done pretending like I can’t.’” Written on the road and recorded in Hollywood at Chalice Recording Studios with the help of friends Chris Bosmith, Sean Matsukawa and Kameron Allen, the album provided Paige with a canvas to define himself. “I wanna stand for something,” he declares on “Who Am I.” “I wanna do it for the kids who got kicked out of class, beating on tables with the pens, they had no drum pads.” These moments of freeform introspection entwine with effortless grooves, such as on “Whisper” featuring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSteve Lacy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAllen Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDurand Bernar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.

Taken as a whole, it pays rhapsodic homage to who he’s always been while pushing further beyond the goal posts. “It represents everything in abundance that I’m willing to work hard for, and willing to elevate in every aspect.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick Paige II","offers":[{"title":"Color Vinyl","offer_id":54302032855264,"sku":"tfd1787252459851","price":17.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":54302032888032,"sku":"nye1787252459852","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Compact Disc","offer_id":54302032920800,"sku":"sqk1787252459853","price":7.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"mp3","offer_id":54302032953568,"sku":"otd1787252459854","price":6.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/3597\/4624\/files\/if-i-fail-are-we-still-cool_1.jpg?v=1787252468","url":"https:\/\/chrisrareloot.shop\/products\/if-i-fail-are-we-still-cool","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
