about

With a nod to traditional Irish music and lyrics pointing straight at your heart, the delicate blend of new folk and sleepy pop of “Paper Thin” will draw you in, lift you up, and steer you through your loneliest moments.

The hypnotic drone of strings and stark percussion wash over you like the crashing of waves pulling at the sand. Kailey’s voice bathes you in warmth and safety, inviting you to embrace the vulnerability of depression and anxiety amidst a landscape of perpetual motion and fresh air. As the song builds, you find yourself both propelled forward and held afloat. The arrangement of harmonies, strings, and percussion, mirror a mind teetering between unceasing overthinking and a determination to find peace and solace in the inevitability of tomorrow: “Counting down todays ‘till tomorrow comes - I hear tomorrow always comes. Tomorrow always comes.”

Kailey recorded “Paper Thin” in her Brooklyn apartment in the early stages of the NYC 2020 lockdown. The knock that introduces the track was modeled after the Grandfather clock in her Grandparent’s home, and serves to establish the steady passing of time. All percussion was created using various parts of her violin, which also provides the textural strings throughout the arrangement.

“Paper Thin” was mixed and mastered by Julian Giaimo and will be available on all music platforms on 12/20/20. You can find Kailey on Instagram and Facebook @kaileypriormusic and at www.kaileyprior.com.
