She has also independently released two EPs, Momentum and Sola, as well as several singles. In 2017, a live version of the song, 'She,' was released and racked up five million plays on YouTube and was featured in the film Bombshell: The Heady Lamarr Story I executive produced by Susan Sarandon I all before the studio version of the single was even released. Produced by Noah Georgeson, Alice explains that Paper Castles is' about nostalgia, about growing into a woman, about the pain and beauty of the past, about feeling small and insignificant but finding that to be powerful and beautiful, about acknowledging that childhood is over but bringing some of it with you.'
