03 Dec Paper Jackets shares new 2020 anthem “i’m depressed.”

LA-based alternative – pop band Paper Jackets has shared a new single titled “i’m depressed.”, a track written about the mental toll the downfall of 2020 has taken on all of us this year, juxtaposed with an upbeat pop sound. “i’m depressed” was produced and co-written by the production duo HEAVY (The Unlikely Candidates, lovelytheband). Fans can check out a visual for “i’m depressed.” below.

On writing the new track, Paper Jackets vocailst Aimee Proal shares, “The 2020 experience heavily influenced this track. After months of limited human interaction, I found myself out of content to write about. I told James I was too depressed to write anything. Oddly that’s exactly what became the song in the most sincere form while keeping a sense of humor in the lyric at the same time. From there, we teamed up with HEAVY and ‘i’m depressed.’ took on a life of its own.” 

“’i’m depressed.’ is an angsty anthem and a beautiful tantrum. As adults there’s no way for “normal people” to scream, so we’re doing it for you. The thing people tend to forget these days is that life has always been hard and this is just the new version. We like to stay apart of the journey,” vocalist James Mason adds.
