Devon-based singer-songwriter Pam Messer opens her 2026 with a cinematic flourish, unveiling her new orchestral ballad ‘2026 Only this song’. Co-produced with Grammy-winning producer Mike Mangini and collaborator Skip Glogan, the single marks a bold step into classical crossover territory for the rising artist.
Drawing inspiration from vocal powerhouses like Whitney Houston and Barbra Streisand, Messer delivers an emotionally resonant performance steeped in nostalgia and personal reflection. Written from the perspective of a woman navigating love and identity later in life, the song explores themes of longing and resilience through sweeping strings, waltz-time rhythms, and stirring vocal precision.
What began as a homegrown DIY demo in her garage evolved into a transatlantic collaboration, with the final recording seamlessly blending her voice with lush orchestration crafted overseas. The result is a moving, modern torch song that defies genre expectations and age stereotypes.
