Jerry Paper releases new track "Just Say Play"
Jerry Paper has delivered new song "Just Say Play" as a second preview of their upcoming album Free Time.
After announcing Free Time with the lead outing "Kno Me" last month, Jerry Paper has returned with a second single from the record titled "Just Say Play".
Jerry Paper, real name Lucas Nathan, says of the track, which features BADBADNOTGOOD's Leland Whitty on the flute and Jonny Kosmo on backing vocals, "While Free Time is definitely NOT a concept album, I did spend the whole period while making the record thinking about playfulness, curiosity, and their roles in the nature of creativity. "Just Say Play" is basically the mission statement of the record! Coming out as nonbinary was part of a process of dismantling the compartmentalisation in myself, and allowing myself to play freely with my gender queerness is one of many ways free play has become a central part of my worldview. I’m just trying to imbue my life with playfulness and freedom!"
Free Time will follow Jerry Paper's 2020 album Abracadabra.
