Toronto-born, LA-based pop artist Allie X has shared her newest single, “Paper Love,” off her debut full-length album CollXtion II, due out June 9 via Twin Music.
The lush track is about a love that hurts in all the right ways.
The 31-year-old singer told Noisey:
“‘Paper Love’ is about when you find yourself getting into [a romantic situation] that you know will rip you up and you do it anyway. [The term] ‘paper love’ [means] the kind of love that is too fragile and violent to work but still feels smooth and sexy and sharp and you can’t help going forward with it. Like, ‘Watch my heart turn to pulp!’ It’s like knowing [a situation] is going to hurt so good.”
