Katie Ferrara Releases Candid New Single “Good on Paper” —A Song for Anyone Who’s Ever Been Told to Settle
Indie singer-songwriter Katie Ferrara returns with her bold and emotionally honest new single, “Good on Paper,” a track that takes a hard look at the subtle heartbreak of relationships that seem perfect from the outside—but leave something vital missing.
Rooted in Ferrara’s signature storytelling style, Good on Paper challenges the cultural narrative that tells women to stay in relationships simply because someone is “a nice guy.” The song explores the disconnect between being loved and being truly understood, drawing attention to the emotional labor of women who are often expected to compromise their needs to avoid being labeled “too picky.”
“This song is for anyone who’s been in a relationship where everything should work, but doesn’t. It’s about the internal conflict of walking away from someone who looks great on paper—but can’t meet you where you are emotionally.”
Good on Paper was released alongside a live performance video as part of the QSC TouchMix Sessions, filmed and recorded in partnership with QSC. The video features Ferrara on her Yamaha acoustic guitar, with Austen Pooley on drums, John Urban on bass, and Paul Redel on electric guitar. The session was recorded using the QSC TouchMix system, known for its pristine sound quality and versatility for live recordings.

Sohodolls delve into rich swarming trap vibes with new single ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’
The tantalising, ever evolving, dark electro-pop musical world of Sohodolls is now delving into rich, swarming trap vibes, with new single ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’, an evocative song about a brief encounter with a kind stranger.
Having recently featured in Netflix’s top 10 series ‘Geek Girl’ with their song ‘Bad’, the new single brings similar St. Trinian’s punk-girl attitude but buried deep within a haze of beats and pulsating electronics, which escalate into an infectious sweaty club banger for all the gamers and misfits who, like the band, also blend between genres.
Whilst on the surface an anthem for regretting the night before, ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’, goes much deeper to fantasize how things may have turned out, combining dreamy atmospheres with fast-paced, dystopian moods as the story twists and turns from hangover recollections to imaginary future romantic scenarios.
“It’s about that unexpected encounter with someone who has a dream-like quality and never being able to forget them. It’s about an instant connection that completely caught me off-guard”, explains Sohodolls’ Maya von Doll. “Lyrically I wanted to continue the story the way I wanted it to go before being pulled away from that magical moment.”
Produced by Marcus Andersson and mixed by Austin Leeds, ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’continues an exciting new era for Sohodolls as they limber up to launch their long-awaited new album this year. Known for their 00’s hit ‘Bang Bang Bang Bang’, which Madonna’s daughter recently sent viral via TikTok, Sohodolls prove once again with ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’ that they are up there with the best alt-pop artists around at the moment whilst retaining their London goth-scene roots.
