Paulina - 'Maybe We're Running'

Meanjin/Brisbane-based singer-songwriter Paulina releases her mesmerizingly delicate new signal ‘Maybe We’re Running’.

The track provides the ideal platform to show Paulina’s flawless falsetto voice - where it is sung in such a way that you can’t help be taken under her spell with goosebumps running up your arms. Her breathy and delicate tone compliments the acoustic opening. Her angelic voice glides over the lifting orchestral landscape of the song, exhibiting the arrangement's enchanting and expansive qualities. As the melody floats among the reverb-washed instrumentation, it balances both a euphoric and melancholic finale.

Paulina talks about the inspiration behind 'Maybe We're Running':

"It was a real punch in the gut when Roe v. Wade was overturned in the US last year, stripping women of their reproductive rights. Even though I live in Australia, far away from those restrictive laws, it makes you question your power as a woman, anywhere. Could this too one day happen here in Australia? Why are there still so many people who don't care about women's voices? As a woman and a human being on this planet, I think it's powerful to sing loudly about all of this. And I hope you can sing with me too, even louder."
