Hotel Paper

Michelle Branch

A road-weary collection of folk-pop and rock. Warm acoustic strums meet an accusatory edge, capturing the restless transition from teen stardom to adulthood.

June 24, 2003 · Maverick

Find on Amazon

A restless and slightly defiant exploration of heartbreak and independence set against a backdrop of constant travel.

Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, crunchy electric guitar riff that kicks off 'Are You Happy Now?' marking a sharp departure from her debut's sweetness.
The Sheryl Crow-esque vocal interplay and rootsy slide guitar on the duet 'Love Me Like That'.
The way the title track 'Hotel Paper' strips back the production to a lonely acoustic guitar and a vulnerable, breathy vocal take.
