Mira Taylor - 'Paris'
Mira Taylor's new track 'Paris' is a bittersweet single that flips the idea of the city of love into something far more haunting, uses the city as a metaphor for places and feelings that become ruined by past relationships. It is yet another stellar example of the natural songwriting prowess Mira possesses.
