Mya Angelique Captures the Chaos and Beauty of Girlhood on Debut EP ‘paper girls’

Rising pop talent Mya Angelique takes listeners on a chaotically mesmerising journey through the world of teenage girlhood in her debut EP ‘paper girls’.

‘paper girls’ is a tender, sharp, and emotionally nuanced coming-of-age collection that explores the fragile complexities of identity, perfectionism, and self-worth. From the bittersweet ache of “sixteen” to the quiet devastation of “the comedown,” each track navigates girlhood’s highs and heartbreaks with lyrical honesty and sonic grace. Standouts like the title track unravel the pressure to be perfect, while “teenage girl nationality” offers a witty, fearless tribute to performance as survival. Whether capturing a fleeting crush in “the boy in the band” or the sting of comparison in “glitter,” the EP is a deeply human portrait of growing up in fragments—soft, messy, and beautiful.

Drawing inspiration from modern icons like Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams, and Maisie Peters, Mya Angelique crafts a sound that’s equal parts raw vulnerability and pop-rock edge. Her debut EP ‘paper girls’, written largely at age 15, feels like flipping through the pages of a teenage diary wired to an amp—intimate, cinematic, and bracingly honest. Each track pulses with a coming-of-age energy that captures the messiness of growing up in real time, inviting listeners not just to hear her story, but to see themselves in it.
