Beautifully restrained, intimate and slow-burning, The Paper Kites return with new single “For All You Give” featuring UK singer-songwriter Lucy Rose. Carrying the torch of weather-beaten ballads and thoughtful songwriting, this is the first taste of the band's 5th studio album Roses (via Nettwerk Records, details TBA).
“It’s an album of duets - for lack of a better word,” frontman 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,” says Bentley. Along with Lucy Rose, the 10-track album will feature Julia Stone (AU), Nadia Reid (NZ), Maro (PT), Aoife O’Donovan (US), Rosie Carney (UK), Ainslie Wills (AU), Amanda Bergman (SE), Lydia Cole (NZ) & Gena Rose Bruce (AU). Listen to "For All You Give (feat. Lucy Rose)" above.
Produced by Sam Bentley & Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary), Roses is a testament to sincere, patient, and understated songwriting. A deeply moving collection of songs, helmed by a cherished selection of artists. Full of power and sentimentality, The Paper Kites gently pull us into uncharted waters.
