Jerry Paper announces new album with first single "Kno Me"
Jerry Paper has shared news of their upcoming album Free Time, and has unveiled new cut "Kno Me" as the first outing.
"Kno Me" is Jerry Paper's first new material since their 2020 album Abracadabra, and is accompanied by a video directed by Alan Resnick.
Jerry Paper, real name Lucas Nathan, says of the new release, "I wrote "Kno Me" while reflecting on what it means to know yourself, and how that comes up against being misunderstood by the world. I have felt so much desire to be known and understood by people I’m close to (and, foolishly, strangers!) that I have wasted plenty of time losing sight of myself in the process. Coming out as nonbinary was a huge way for me to know myself deeply, and paradoxically something about sharing that with the world made me care less about how people see me. I have a much more comprehensive understanding of myself and nothing can take that away from me. The imagery in the song comes from the first day I decided to wear a dress outside while running errands. I kept repeating "fuck you, you don’t know me" in my head whenever I saw anybody as a way to center myself. Soon I realized most people didn’t care at all or weren’t paying attention to me so it made me laugh and also feel really good and free!"
