HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF THIS SEPTEMBER
Singer, songwriter and artist quinnie releases her album paper doll, today. The full-length album was recorded, produced and mixed with quinnie’s longtime collaborators Jake Weinberg and Gabe Wax and recorded in Los Angeles at Weinberg’s studio and Infinite Family Studios. The album release arrives alongside a music video for album track “my secret,” directed by Alejandra Demers. paper doll will also include the previously shared tracks “hate fuck,” which arrived with a live video, “baja bird” and “paper doll,” both of which paired with visuals directed, shot, and edited by Demers.
Speaking about her new album, quinnie shares, “I started writing ‘paper doll’ when I was falling in love and simultaneously grappling with a strong urge for more freedom. It made me reflect on my inclination towards loneliness, the limitations of language, the gendered implications of relationships, and why we continue to seek out love if the outcome is always grief.”
Across the fifteen tracks on the album, quinnie thoughtfully navigates themes of freedom and the isolation of womanhood. paper doll follows the success of the Los Angeles-based artist’s critically acclaimed 2023 debut album Flounder, which Pitchfork stated “submerges us in baptismal primordial soup” and includes standout track “touch tank.” Since the debut album’s release, quinnie has garnered over 100 million streams, sold out every headline show, and earned praise from publications including Rolling Stone, NPR, and The New York Times.
quinnie will embark on her headline North American tour this fall kicking off on September 29th in Atlanta with stops in Washington, D.C., New York City, Montreal, Dallas, San Francisco, Portland, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles on November 14th. quinnie will also perform at Pitchfork Paris on November 7th and at Earth Theatre in London on November 9th. Tickets available HERE.
Hailing from New Jersey, she began releasing home cooked music in high school, attended a year of college, and then dropped out at nineteen to further pursue music in Los Angeles. Through the years, quinnie’s music has undoubtedly grown both in size and quality. However, her handcrafted charm is maintained, making records almost exclusively with her roommate and best friends, and continuing to deeply involve herself in each creative corner of her project. Though on paper, quinnie is a singer-songwriter, she sees herself as an artist first. The never ending journey for an unspecified Why, the ungraspable root of the human condition, the task of turning feelings that words can’t describe into something tangible – this is the greatest undertaking of her work. In the world of quinnie, when moving with the currents of serendipity, the songs will write themselves.
