Mya Angelique Showcases Glitter, Grit, and Girlhood in Debut EP ‘paper girls’

Mya Angelique’s debut EP paper girls is a shimmering, aching portrait of adolescence wrapped in guitar fuzz and diary-page confessions. With seven emotionally charged tracks, she captures the wild contradictions of girlhood — soft and fierce, fragile and defiant, loud with longing and quiet with hurt. It’s the kind of record that feels like a late-night text you never send or a secret note passed in class. The sheer honesty in her lyrics is startling, but even more striking is how she shapes that honesty into something musical, melodic, and deeply moving.

From the aching vulnerability of “sixteen” to the fragile unspooling in the title track “paper girls,” Mya finds power in the moments we usually hide. Her vocal delivery is raw and intimate, as if she’s whispering to a friend rather than performing to a crowd. “quick-brush” and “the comedown” slow things down to a gentle heartbreak, while “teenage girl nationality” gives the EP its backbone — witty, brave, and a little bit bruised. The lyrics cut deep, but they’re never cruel. Mya writes with a tenderness that only someone who’s really felt it all can summon.

If paper girls is any indication, Mya Angelique isn’t just singing about growing up — she’s defining what it sounds like. With a sonic palette inspired by Olivia Rodrigo and Maisie Peters, she adds her own pastel chaos to the coming-of-age canon. Vulnerable, biting, and undeniably real, this debut proves that teenage girls don’t just feel deeply — they write hits about it too.
