"Ohio-based musician Paige Beller released an amazing animated music video for her single ‘Failed Attempts and Cigarettes’. The video is made in collaboration by fellow Ohio talent Katie Marks (graphic artist and illustrator). The raw lyrics and the animation created a video that makes you think and stay interested long after the animation stops."

"Cincinnati-based musician Paige Beller’s latest offering is the dream-pop tune titled “Failed Attempts and Cigarettes.” The song features Beller’s distant vocals as haunting keys and guitar parts fill the sound with psychedelic elements."

Though Beller is largely alone on her debut, I’ll Be Better feels like a full-band production. Gorgeous harmonies, thick percussion, and a variety of keys, synths, and guitars dance through Beller’s songs, creating a grand sense of scale for what is fundamentally an intimate record.
- Caleb Campbell - Under The Radar "The second single from her upcoming debut LP ("So Much Water")—this track brings a whole new sound to the world. The echoing harmonizations paired with the melodic beat and experimental sound puts a song on a level of its own.".
-ELENA CHILDERS, BTRtoday "...her lyrics are distinctively simple, honest, and heartbreaking, layered simultaneously with tenderness and deeply compelling acidity."
- Lucy Hittle - SofaBurn.com “Beller proves time and time again that she has a knack for producing music that is both beautifully melancholy and endlessly imaginative.”
- Timothy Anderl - Ghettoblaster Magazine “Dayton musician Paige Beller seemingly never sleeps.”

"A psychedelic carousel with a spin of indie rock, the lead single and title track is out now — accompanied with a music video directed by Aaron Cline."
- American Blues Scene Her latest album opens these sounds up, with more contemporary studio techniques that take her already great songwriting abilities and builds on them. The fact she never buries the song under these techniques, but uses them to life the songs up shows a maturity that many songwriters don’t have. She uses the studio not as crutch, but as another instrument in her musical arsenal.
- Johnathon Gallienne - Punknews.org “Very few musicians can deliver songs that are emotionally vulnerable and simultaneously epic. Paige Beller captures all of these qualities and more in her songwriting, live performances, and attitude.”
- Andrew Humphrey - Ghettoblaster Magazine "In an increasingly particular marketplace, many artists struggle to refine
their muse in order to best cater to finicky genre boundaries in an attempt to find a modicum of success. Others embrace their multiple musical personalities." - Kyle Melton - Dayton City Paper |
