paper doll

Released in July 2025, 'paper doll' represents a significant expansion of quinnie’s sonic palette while doubling down on the 'dry-intimate' aesthetic that defined her early viral success. Spanning 15 tracks, the album moves through a carefully constructed narrative arc of self-dissection and eventual forgiveness. Unlike many of her indie-folk peers who utilize lush reverb to create distance, quinnie utilizes a 'dead' room sound that places the listener in the same physical space as the performer. This recording choice highlights the technical precision of her fingerpicking and the nuanced delivery of her lyrics, which often contrast soft melodies with sharp, modern vernacular and explicit honesty (most notably on 'hate f**k'). The album solidifies her position as a leading voice in the 'bedroom-folk' movement, blending traditional singer-songwriter sensibilities with a 2020s-specific focus on mental health and biological metaphors.
