Paper Dolls - 2013
With a ukulele in one hand and a guitar in the other, Mary Allen embraces the softer side of heartbreak in Paper Dolls, her debut album. Paper Dolls is a testament to the double-edged nature of love as Allen articulates it in lyrics like, “there are tears in my cereal bowl, but the toast is hot, and the milk is cold.” Indeed, a breakfast metaphor has never been more apt, since, in the words of one fan, “her voice is butter.” Produced by Jacob Lawson, Paper Dolls encompasses a broad musical universe: from the invitation to dance by tracks like “Cereal Bowl” and “Four Feet” to the cool jazz of “In My Head,” Allen demonstrates a splendid range of style while never losing the clarity and warmth that distinguish her as an indie pop artist.
