ITALIAN ELECTRO-POP ARTIST LILI N RELEASES NEW SINGLE "PAPER HEART"


"The 21-year-old Berklee College of Music student collaborated with Stockholm duo Hymer for this new pusling, electronic-based pop track. The thumping bass and experiments in speed make for an electric quality, and the chorus is straight out of the modern pop classics songbook." - ALL THINGS GO

"PAPER HEART" FOLLOWS SUCCESS OF DEBUT SINGLES "4U" & "ONE

"I firmly believe that love will hurt, it will hurt your soul and your body but it will also save you from that same pain if you let it." - LILI N  

Today, Italian electro-pop singer-songerwiter and trained musician, LILI N, releases her latest single, "Paper Heart." "Paper Heart" is the first single to be released off of LILI N's upcoming EP. "Paper Heart" highlights LILI N's sharp songwriting skills, musicianship, and undeniable charm.

"Paper Heart" was written by LILI N, Joel Isaksson and Oskar Nyman (who make up the Stokholm-based production team Hymer) and Sanford Livingston (who produced and co-wrote her first two singles, "4U" and "One"). The production is by Hymer, with additional production by Sanford Livingston. 

Of "Paper Heart", LILI N says, "It's about being vulnerable and being fragile but without ever losing yourself completely. 'You can break my bones but you can't fold my paper heart,' means you can hurt me deeply but never to the core, as long as I have myself. The song is also about not making the same mistake twice, and how vital it is to respect yourself in your choices." 

Born in Rome, Italy, LILI N is a student of Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music.  The pop singer has, as Vanyaland put it, “an intriguing storyline, and an impressive one for her 20 years of age, but much of it has yet to cross over the Atlantic.”  Of course, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because it “allows ourselves to focus solely on the most important aspect of her budding career: her music.” 

Growing up in a musical household – her mother was a successful opera singer and her father played vinyl records continuously – allowed LILI N to develop her craft at a remarkably young age.  “I started playing piano on my own because we had this huge grand piano in my mom’s house in Rome,” she shares. “It just seemed natural to me, and I couldn’t really play piano without ending up writing a song.”  Perhaps just as impressive: LILI N has spent nearly all of her young life as a voice-over artist, supplying the Italian voice of Cindy Lou, Lilo and Lucy in animated features like The GrinchLilo & Stitch and Narnia

Though she and her sister would reenact all of Grease, Cats and Moulin Rouge in their living room, LILI N's biggest influences are some of music’s most unique voices, like Lou Reed, Lady Gaga, Sia and Frank Ocean. Like the artists she looks up to, LILI N uses her emotions as inspiration.  “I want to always remain an honest writer,” she explains.  “Listening to my friends speak, or even having a conversation with an Uber driver – that could be inspiration. It’s important to listen to everyone around me.” 

With her sultry voice and inimitable dream pop sound, LILI N is dedicated to creating a movement through her music.  “I want my songs to deliver a very open message to the world, and I want everyone to appreciate the power of the mind. We don’t need drugs or alcohol or mind-altering substances to feel good. These things aren’t as powerful as the world we create individually. And nothing makes you feel as good as music can.” 

LILI N’s "Paper Heart" will officially drop on all DSPs on July 22nd.
