The Paper Kites Return With Stunning Track "For All You Give" (feat. Lucy Rose)

Australian folk-rock stalwarts The Paper Kites have returned with their new single “For All You Give”, featuring English indie darling Lucy Rose. Carrying the torch of weather-beaten ballads and thoughtful songwriting, this is the first taste of the bands 5th studio album Roses, to be released in 2021 through Wonderlick. 

This gorgeous acoustic tune, which is the band’s first release in two years, highlights a powerful chemistry between the band and Lucy, making for a lovely duet that gets us deep into our feels. Beautifully restrained, intimate and slow burning, the single is yet another example of the world-class talent that has seen the band approach 1 billion streams worldwide, and 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Beautiful harmonies combined with delicate, heartfelt guitar-picking make for an incredible start to what has potential to be one of the best albums of the year.

The song comes from The Paper Kites’ forthcoming album, which is set to become one of 2020’s highly-anticipated indie projects of the year. Produced by Sam Bentley and Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary), The Paper Kites’ upcoming album Roses is a deeply moving collection of songs, helmed by a cherished selection of artists. 

“It’s an album of duets - for lack of a better word,” Sam Bentley explains. “A collection of songs we had written and wanted to record with these artists.” 

An alluring, dynamic and diverse company, the Roses vocalists were handpicked by the band to feature on the new album. “It was first and foremost about finding the voices and artists we felt were right for each song,” said Sam.

We’re beyond excited for The Paper Kites’ return, and if this track is any indication of what we’re in for, then we’re guaranteed an absolute treat.
