‘Paperthin’ is an extraordinary track. Developing slowly over soft guitars and indie stylings, the record takes us right to the height of American college indie bands in the early ‘2000s – think Phantom Planet, Rooney, Fountains Of Wayne and all that nostalgic goodness. The aforementioned groups had one thing in common: a strong sense of mellow poignancy and an elegant emotional flair that felt understatedly melancholic. ‘Paperthin’ learns from that very same experience, delivering tons of relatable and wholesome vibes.
Penned by Indian American singer and songwriter Nick Alexander, the song reaches the listeners on an intimate level, aiding introspective reflection and composed sadness. It’s a good thing, that’s what art and music are supposed to make us feel like! Evoking a reaction is the ultimate test for every record, and ‘Paperthin’ does that egregiously.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track’s meaningful lyricism, Alexander explains: “A powerful reflection on the challenges of loss and the unwavering strength it takes to navigate life’s unexpected twists and turns.” We hope you’ll join him on that very same journey – It’s worth it!
