Leah Jane Releases ‘Paper Crown’

Propelled by an indie-punk poptimism that reflects her uncompromising commitment to remaining above the fray, Leah Jane’s latest focus track, “Paper Crown,” emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between losing and letting go.

The new song encapsulates the experience of leaving a damaging relationship and is characterized by its empowering message of finding peace. “Paper Crown,” with its early 2000s Avril Lavigne vibes, contributes to the nostalgic essence of Leah Jane’s upcoming EP. The single is now streaming on all digital platforms.

“Paper Crown” reflects Leah Jane’s diverse musical influences, ranging from Taylor Swift to Gregory Alan Isakov.

Leah Jane describes the songwriting process as both fun and therapeutic, emphasizing its theme of releasing oneself from burdensome ties. This single, released under Spooky Action Records, showcases Leah Jane’s evolution as an artist, expanding her repertoire beyond her folk music roots into a more ethereal and unique sound.
