“And so for a couple months, ‘Risk’ became that song that I would sit down and play.” “I sit down at my piano, and there’s typically one song that sticks out to me and that’s what I start playing to get inspired to write other songs,” Page said. Then, as these lyrics rang true, they started to demand her attention.
But even after the lyrics had seemed to jump off the paper into Page’s life, the song spent almost another year untouched. “I want my audience to take what they need from my songs and run with it.” Although she wrote the song much earlier, Page waited until about two years after it was written to release “Risk.” (Photo by Carissa Gould)Ībout a year after writing the song - and shelving it - she started living the lyrics of “Risk,” entering a new relationship and feeling hesitant about the vulnerability that comes with trusting another person. “‘Risk’ can pertain to anybody,” Page said. Page sings about opening up to someone in a new relationship, the excitement of falling for a person and the fear of vulnerability: “It’s too new to catch feelings / and if I take / that step towards you / will my heart break?” But the soulful R&B song isn’t just about budding relationships and baring your soul to someone. The music video, which echoes 1920s allure, was directed by Tisch student Irina Lazouski and made for Page’s most recent song, “Risk,” released May 21.Īs the title suggests, the song is about taking chances. Currently in her third year at Steinhardt’s music business program, Page has released four songs and a music video. O nly the song’s upbeat rhythm and the intermittent shots of Page in more modern attire remind us that it is, in fact, the 21st century.Īlthough she might look it, Page is not a Hollywood starlet - yet. The lo ok is complete with vintage-style pearls around her neck and an old-fashioned microphone in her hand. Her lips are painted a coordinated shade, her hair styled in finger waves and her forearms clad in stark white gloves.
