Singer-songwriter James Paxton introduces his solo project Love, Pax with the stunning debut single “Count On Me.” Known for his work in alt-hip-hop groups Soundaze and Flamingo Dogs, Paxton takes a bold artistic leap into introspective, guitar-driven folk, drawing inspiration from José González, Iron & Wine, and Elliott Smith.
Recorded with Nikolas Thompson at Breathing Rhythm Studio in Norman, OK, “Count On Me” is a heartfelt meditation on love and trust, carried by delicate acoustic strumming, soft piano chords, and airy electric guitar slides. The track’s raw, vulnerable vocals create an atmospheric, almost hypnotic experience—one that invites listeners to pause, reflect, and lose themselves in its emotional depth.
Beyond the song itself, the music video, directed by the legendary Greg Gorman, carries a deeply personal touch. Set for exclusive release via People Magazine on July 12, the visual tribute honors Paxton’s late father, the iconic Bill Paxton, adding another layer of emotional weight to the project.
As Paxton embarks on this new musical chapter, Love, Pax offers a refreshing sincerity and elegance. “Count On Me” is just the beginning—a soul-stirring, cinematic debut that signals an exciting journey ahead.
