Artist: Lyn Bowtell
Track: Paper Cut
Single: Paper Cut

Lyn Bowtell’s new single, Paper Cut, is a poignant track exploring the pain of fractured relationships, both romantic and platonic.

The idea for the song came to Lyn after receiving an actual paper cut. “When it happened, I thought to myself, ‘It won’t kill me; it’s just a paper cut,’ then that thought suggested a connection with my experiences of relationship breakdowns,” she explained.

“The sense of loss when a relationship ends, whether it be creative, friendship or romantic, can linger. Sometimes, even a small reminder brings the pain back. It’s as much a heart wound, as it is a physical one. It was one of those quick song writes that are a blessing, that arrive swiftly, almost fully formed.”

The single features the vocal harmonies of country music icon Kasey Chambers, who fell in love with the track after hearing Lyn perform it during a songwriting retreat.

Adding to the song’s timeless appeal is Kasey’s father, Bill Chambers, whose slide guitar work lends a rich, vintage country feel.
