Paper Light is the debut album by Danish-American singer Medina Valbak or also knows as Just "Medina". The Albums expected release is July 23rd via Warner Music Group after the set back of her intended debut Album "Revisited" which was pulled back due to Medina feeling the Album was cheap and contained too many left overs of artist passed albums. Medina in early May went back into the studio where she wrote over forty Songs and Record sixty Demos, and out of all the Demos Medina had to pick the top thirty Demos. Then after she had to slowly see what songs she wanted out of those thirty Demos on her fortune-Track album. The label also knew this would cost them a huge check out of their wallets so they made the final choice to make the album "Warner's Main Promotional Album Of 2K15" which means that the album would have large promotion such as Medina soon performing at the FCA's and other promotion practices. Medina worked with a short amount of Producers and lyric writers due to her informing her label she had almost no producers joining the project, but after Medina realized she didn't need a huge Production team so she continued to record and write in Stockholm with the small group of writers and producers.
The album Contains mostly Pop and Pop-Fusion songs after Medina made the decision she didn't want to wander off to many genres and if she did she would make them in a "Pop-Fusion" version which she personally like doing. Medina worked with Pop producers Max Martin and Shellback mostly and some other Swedish producers as well. All songs were recorded in Stockholm and Las Vegas since Medina didn't like using too many Recording studios due to leaks being high at the moment. Medina would spent most of her time in Stockholm or Vegas recording the album and speaking to multiples agents on how to make the album successful in many musical markers around the world.
Most Lyrics were written by Medina herself or she had one extra co writer with her. Medina felt that if she didn't write the Album herself she wouldn't feel no connection to the Album whatsoever. In the month of May Medina spent most of her time in writing studios and wondering the world, such as Japan where she wrote many songs and got many ideas for the new album. Medina also made a huge connection with Mega-Hit lyrics writer Diane Warren who noted that she felt Medina was a magnificent song writer and a genuine nice person to work with. Dian Warren wrote/Co-wrote two Songs on the album for Medina and also noted on wanting to work with Medina in a song writing camp in Sweden in the winter for multiple 2016 debuting artist. Medina also donated many of her lyric Demo's to Warner's musical training camps.
Blue is the first color section on the three color sections that are on Medina's cover of Paper Light. Each section represents a story about Medina's life and love story. The blue section consists of the first seven tracks on Paper Light
( The Fool Of The Night, Trouble, Goodbye, I'm All Alone, Burning Tears, Heart&Soul and Never Coming Back ). Blue tells the story of Medina's heartbroken moments she had in her life and how she tried to fight, but sometimes would go back to the men who abused of her and broke her heart when she was 20-22. Medina also writes of a marriage that she had ended in a small amount of time due to her ex-lover only being interested in her financial status.
So it was all about the money
And a power play for you tonight
I was never your "honey"
You only wanted me for the pay
The only love you had for me
Was painted with a green stripe
I always knew but It was too far for my sight
Your words were deceiving
But my mind fought it all
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I was running from a villain
But I had one in my heart
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the nightYou were here to only torment
And make my dire dream come alive
And it wasn't for the story
It was for the green inside my life
But I no longer feel livid
I feel calm for the night
Cause I'm the one that will end your night
Your words were deceiving
But my mind fought it all
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I gave you the green run
But I pulled the trigger that never let you live it all
I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the nightI fell over for the good night
And woke up with a bottle of red rose
Now I'm the widow of the moon light
And I have you underneath my toes
I fell over for the good night
And woke up with a bottle of red rose
Now I'm the widow of the moon light
And I have you underneath my toes
Your words were deceiving
But my mind fought it all
I was the fool of the night
I was the fool of the night
I gave you the green run
But I pulled the trigger that never let you live it all
I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
Oh I was the fool of the night
