“A heartbreaking track with such a childish, naive, but from this in the most sincere voice -Lexie Carroll-. Immediately return to such a distant but not forgotten childhood, where the main gift for Christmas was the warm arms of parents and a bunch of gifts for Christmas. Very kind, warm piano track combined with Indie Pop. Thank you, -lexie-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Душещипательный трек с таким детским, наивным, но от этого максимально искренним голосом -Lexie Carroll-. Сразу возвращаешься в такое далёкое, но не позабытое детство, где главным подарком на рождество были тёплые объятия родителей и куча подарков на рождество. Очень добрый, тёплый фортепианный трек в сочетании с Indie Pop. Спасибо, -Lexie-.”

After the successes of her recent EP ‘when the sun came up’, released in April 2022, 17 year old singer-songwriter Lexie Carroll returns with her new track ‘if i built my home from paper’, out today. It has already hit New Music Friday and Our Generation on Spotify. The track has been resonating heavily with Lexie's tik tok and instagram fanbase.
‘If i built my home from paper’ is a heart-warming track full of childhood references from familiar fairytale stories, with Lexie’s natural craft for songwriting conjuring up fond and beautiful images. Singing about the tenderness and comfort of that one special relationship and how reassuring that can be, the track begins with simple piano chords, building to celestial strings and atmospheric percussion. Its lyrics, instrumentation, relatable story and vivid imagery make for a hugely impactful song - one which grows in meaning and affection with each play.
"I wrote if I built my home from paper for my mum, but I think the song is applicable to any sort of relationship where someone can make the world feel safer and help to untangle some of the chaos with you. It's a very special thing to have, I feel very lucky and I hope everyone who listens has that person whether they're family or someone else."
With her 2022 single releases and EP having won strong support from Jess Iszatt at BBC Introducing London and Spotify (New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Our Generation and Lost in the Woods playlists), as well as numerous radio plays, including BBC Radio 2, and good press support (Clash, Line of the Best Fit, Asbo Magazine), Lexie is fast gaining momentum. With tracks that tell heartfelt stories, Lexie’s music is resonating with a fast growing fanbase and she is undoubtedly an exciting young talent to watch.
