After more than a year since her last release, Simone Toweel returns with her latest single, “Paper Planes”. The track beautifully captures the innocence and freedom of childhood, encouraging listeners to cherish life’s simple pleasures.
“Paper Planes is a personal reminder to slow down and find joy in the little things,” Simone Toweel explains. “As children, we could create magic from almost nothing—a folded piece of paper could become something that soars. I hope this song inspires people to rediscover that sense of wonder.”
This new release continues Simone’s journey as a storyteller and musician, weaving heartfelt messages with her signature sound.
