Gretchen – Paper Bird [Single]

“Paper Bird“, a cleverly constructed piece by the mellow-voiced emcee/singer Gretchen, accelerates the indie-soul vibe to a pleasantly inviting pitch that grabs your attention instantly. Thanks to producer Josh Ashley‘s magic touch, the song delivers a soul-stirring narrative in a laid-back, relatable manner. Gretchen’s soft and soothing vocals add perspective to this poetic account of rising up and reclaiming your mojo in the wake of a relationship that turned toxic. The soothing nu-soul production helps to sweep you up into the unfiltered world of the RVA native’s mindful lyrics.

As Gretchen weaves through the lyrics, “What does it mean to feel this free/ How’d I lose sight of what I see right now/ Cause it’s clear right now/ Oooh oooh/ What do you mean by, this isn’t real life/ Cause I love the sights I see right now/ See right now/ There’s no paper birds around” her crystal-clear voice steeps each word with meaning and you can’t help but be moved by the beauty of this song. With a stripped-back yet emotive melody, our young songbird offers an artful understanding of the liberating feeling that often follows a breakup. Reflective and meaningful in equal measures, this track is a beautifully balanced composition that keeps you plugged in and resonates on a deeply personal level.
