The 11 song album is sensitive,
yet rebellious - romantic, yet independent - sweet, yet feisty. It
is this dichotomy of feelings and emotions that truly embodies Paulina's
songwriting, and is captured in
"Wallflower".
Some
songs transcend the listener into heartfelt spaciousness with lofty
melodic ballads, that tenderly seep into our hearts with
eloquent musical arrangements such as piano, viola and light
percussion. Then, other songs jettison us off into the harsh
tumultuous world of growing up and breaking up with edgy
guitars, giant drums, a tornado of beats and sonic shockwaves.
No matter what, Paulina's voice weaves it all together with her
lilting melodic voice, whispering personal thoughts one minute
and belting strong emotions the next.
She can spark your romantic
heart like Norah Jones, and peak your ears with tones like
Porteous Head or Seal. At times, a demanding Avril Lavigne, or a
worldly Michelle Branch. Yet often, most often, her unique
talented self.
"Wallflower", named
after her title track, is eclectic with music style, from folky
acoustic songs, to rhythmic pop grooves, to world beat irish and
spanish tones. It's all part and parcel of a Warrior Girl Music
production that ignites a new fresh artist into the world music
scene with a huge splash. While the album title may presume one
thing, Paulina is definitely no wallflower.
"Wallflower"
is produced and arranged by poly-media artist and producer, Gilli Moon,
also a writer on songs "Sorry" and "For The Moon", and this album is co-produced by
Matt Thorne (The Eels, TRAPT, Plastilina Mosh).
