The first moments of quinnie’s sophomore album, paper doll, are a nod to her roots. The New Jersey-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter first began recording music in her bedroom as a high schooler. On opener “a new shade of blue,” she counts the song in with a delicate whisper before cueing up a gently strummed acoustic guitar melody. For a moment, she’s back in her bedroom. Though her career is in a far different place than when she was recording back home in Jersey, she has managed to retain some of the DIY aesthetic that informed her early work. This grasp of details, which she honed on paper doll with Jake Weinberg and Gabe Wax, courses through the album’s grandest moments and most intimate alike. Take “ripple,” which takes elements of straight-ahead pop and hollows out the bombast to present something stripped back and cleverly appointed. Elsewhere, she dives into her own history on “run around the block again,” a lovesick waltz that coalesces around a sugary-sweet glockenspiel and whirring strings. No matter where quinnie is at in her career, she’s never far from a reminder of home.
