Q: Welcome! Can you tell us a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> thanks for having me! My name is Mexx Heart and I\u2019m a singer\/songwriter\/composer from Nashville TN

Q: What inspired the title of the album \u201cPaper House\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> it actually has a legit definition. It refers to the future you talk about with a significant other, your future house, and your family. Given the context of the songs on the album, I thought the title was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can you talk about the creative process behind the making of this album?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> I absolutely can. \u201cLondon\u201d was the first song I wrote for the album 2 years ago. Of course with the help of some friends, it got so much better. I wrote it firstly as a poem to help me cope with a breakup. Years later, I\u2019m processing that relationship still in current relationships and therapy sessions. Suddenly, I had more to say and decoded to write from beginning to end, basically drawing the relationship from memory, the happy times, and the worst of times, to the relief that it\u2019s finally all over.

Q: How does \u201cPaper House\u201d compare to your previous albums in terms of sound and style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve delved into experimental alt-pop. My previous sound was more alternative rock. I\u2019ve found this style really suits me and I like it way more.

Q: What themes or messages do you hope listeners take away from the album?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Perspective is everything. All of the songs are up to interpretation. If you take a certain message from a song, as long as you can find comfort in my music, that\u2019s all that matters and that is beautiful.

Q: Which song on the album do you feel is the most personal or meaningful to you, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> They\u2019re all personal but I\u2019d have to say it would be Pretend. It\u2019s very different from the other songs on the album.

Q: How has your music evolved since your debut album?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> I have more in my vault that haven\u2019t made it on the album. Rest assured the next album will be similar but likely darker. Darker lyrics, darker tones, everything.

Q: Who are some of the artists that have influenced your sound on \u201cPaper House\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Many! The main of course is Taylor Swift. I fell in love with her style with Folklore and Evermore. The more acoustic alt sound with each album but what drew me in was her poetry. I know it recently came to that the albums tell a story about a love triangle so I organized my album to tell a story. I was also inspired by my friend and fellow singer\/songwriter Drew Erwin. He has multiple songs I\u2019ve found inspiration in, mostly in \u201cAntidote, \u201cLifeline,\u201d and \u201cAnymore.\u201d These were the main two.

Q: Can you discuss any collaborations or guest features on the album?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Yes! I\u2019ve confirmed Grammy nominated Oliver Sean on a collaboration for a remote of London. If there\u2019s more, everyone will for sure know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What was the biggest challenge you faced while creating \u201cPaper House\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> honestly, just getting in the studio time. I\u2019m obviously not my producer\u2019s only client and it\u2019s not her only gig either. We also had basically opposite schedules. Full album production took almost a year but it was so worth it.

Q: How do you envision fans reacting to this album during live performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: <\/strong>I\u2019ve seen fans hold up their phone lights to \u201cNothing From Nothing.\u201d Seeing something like that has me feeling like we\u2019re more intimate in that. My closest friends are always closest to the stage when I perform so I love looking at them and they\u2019re singing along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
