quinnie – Paper Doll | A Fragile Coming-of-Age Ritual at the Heart of Naivety

✦ New Jersey-born singer-songwriter quinnie deepens her inner world with her sophomore album Paper Doll, released in the summer of 2025. Dropped on July 24, the record invites her devoted TikTok-grown audience into a fully realized realm of imagination — one that is bolder, darker, and more exposed than her previous project flounder.

The title track, “paper doll,” plays like an allegory for a self torn apart by artificial relationships. The paper doll figure symbolizes quinnie’s delicate yet resilient spirit — one that can be peeled back layer by layer, reshaped as it folds, but never destroyed.

On “baja bird,” she follows a childish joy only to suddenly crash into the ground. Her soft vocals tremble like an alarm going off at dawn — comforting at first, until the cracks in the melody begin to show. This tension between warmth and disruption is exactly what defines quinnie’s signature.

Standout tracks from the album include:

• “hate fuck” – an honest and unsettling confession about desire fueled by pain.

• “my secret” – a silent depression transfigured into song.

• “angel song” – a fragile whisper walking the blurred line between innocence and death.

With its 15 tracks, Paper Doll serves both the disappointments of the past and the growing pains of liberation on the same plate. The production is intentionally minimal, placing quinnie’s songwriting at center stage. The childlike simplicity of her lyrics contrasts with the emotional weight they carry — as if they’ve been lifted from a bedroom wall and turned into art.

quinnie is no longer just a TikTok phenomenon; she stands as one of the most powerful voices of vulnerability and emotional sincerity in today’s indie scene. The album is now available on all digital platforms. A mini-tour is on the horizon, with stops in New York, Toronto, and London — where quinnie will bare herself even more, this time on stage
