July 06, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Electro Pop, Electronic, Feature, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

But if this is your first time hearing demotapes in action, just wait till you hear the rest of his discography.

New Paper Idol out now, stream "Clouds" here

July 03, 2021 by Toby Boston in Bedroom Pop, Electronic, Electro Pop, Indie, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

The final chapter in a six-part series, 'Castles' is the final release of Paper Idol's EP 'Mania Days'. Blending catchy indie-electronica synths with sharp and punchy electronic production. The songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer showcases his talents in the latest single, with minimalist verses comprising purely of synths, drums and vocals, leading into a crisp, sparkling dance drop while beautifully blending punchy bass-lines with sharp synths.

“Mania Days is a six-part story about a boy named Paper whose broken heart leads him on a delusional adventure. Castles is the final chapter in the story – Paper’s mania wears off and he crashes back down to reality. The song is about my experience moving to LA to make music. I had these huge expectations for success, often fueled by people in the industry, and thought it would require little time or effort to reach that success. “Castles” is about leaving fairy tales behind and realizing that you need to work hard and stay determined to reach your goals”

This is by far a personal favorite of ours and we’re excited for you to hear it too. So go ahead and check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Paper Idol online to stay up to date and enjoy!
