Kobra Paige Announces Debut Album “Like No Other”, Shares Title Track
Canadian singer-songwriter Kobra Paige has announced her debut album “Like No Other” will be released on August 30, 2024.
From the album, she released the title track on July 26, 2024.
The track was written by Eliabeth Mae Hale, Elizabeth Mae Hale, Joe Hottinger, Kobra Paige, and Nick Raskulinecz. Produced by Brian Howes.
She completed the song at producer Brian Howe's Black Stove Studios in 2021, where the addition of Sitar was introduced.
This paid tribute to a part of her upbringing which involved many years of seva (service), with her family, at an ashram in southern India.
Kobra Paige said of the song, “This song is the heartbeat of the album and the distillation of what, I believe to be, life's journey. If I were to share my essence and experience of what I know about being human, in one song, this would be it. LNO speaks to the recognition of our mind, body, and spirit as the one 'home' we truly have in this lifetime. We are its sacred keeper and there's no limit to the number of times we can rebuild or change its path.”- She continued, “As we move through this song, you will hear a sonic blend of worldly drums and Indian Sitar blended with the cozy Dobro and various acoustic and electric guitar layers. This is to express the beautiful paradox of our individuality in this world while simultaneously being plugged into the tapestry of a collective. The vocals are confident yet bare to the rawness of how lonely life can still feel, despite being surrounded by so many others. The ebb and flow of forward then backward motion, we experience all the time, is expressed and celebrated for the strength it takes to keep going through the adversities we face. In the pre-chorus, we have Fleetwood Mac-esque vocal layers, some company for a weary soul.”

She added, “Finally, the chorus holds the wisdom and the key. I speak of the very ancient wisdom of water and use its powerful metaphor as a beacon of remembrance to everyone. One of the most difficult parts of this life- journey is to surrender and cease resisting that which we can't control. To flow like water is a great aspiration as it patiently shapes things over time, does not force itself, and yet moves powerfully when needed. Finally, a gift for us all. An important affirmation deeply rooted in 'enoughness' and truth. 'I Am Like No Other'. You are the only one keeping you from yourself.”
