Paper Hearts - Marie Noire (R&B) Marie Noire joins us this week with latest track “Paper Hearts”, her debut single. The brand new project Marie Noire blends dark-pop moods with contemporary R&B, lifting inspiration from heartbreak, obsession and emotional numbness. On “Paper Hearts”, we start with a soulful piano and lilting jazz-infused vocal, baked in intimacy and vulnerability, punctuated by a far away cello (which we really enjoyed). The song is an ode to fragility, begging a lover to be gentle with her heart. The track conjures comparisons to a Sia production, from the instrumentation to the tone of the vocals. Overall, it’s a song built for shower singalongs.
Best Lyric: “Every I love you I whispered.”
