The Band Perry have released the video for "Postcard from Paris," the fifth single from the band's self-titled debut album. Since their debut in late 2009, The Band Perry have made their mark on country music while keeping the instrumentation decidedly country, a foreign concept to many of their contemporaries. Their latest single, "Postcard from Paris," follows perfectly in that trend."Postcard From Paris" is a beautiful song that finds a fresh way to spell love: a simple story of newly found love until you realize she's with the wrong man. The chorus is a brilliant lyric performed with honesty and familiarity by Kimberly and the brothers Perry. The metaphor isn't right down country Main St., but neither is this band. Kimberly always has to be ruined when a better catch comes along or obsessed with the person who doesn't notice her. With her gorgeous and tantalizing twang; she pulls off each character with the ease of a singer with twice as much life experience.
Like any great song, the emotions of being with the wrong person are fully flushed out - every decision she's made is now coming into question, as though the universe got it backwards and her diamond ring was actually a fake. Now that she feels she's supposed to be with someone else, the protagonist can't help but let out her primal scream. And it's that twisty angst element that's helped to form the trio's sound and thusly helped them emerge as one of the most exciting acts having hits right now.
Although the video shoot in New Orleans seems to be a fairly laid-back affair for the trio siblings, the decision to release this latest tune wasn't as easy due to their label had planned to not release another song until the first single from their sophomore album was ready. The release is a smart move, though, as "Postcard From Paris" is the perfect song to help bring them to the next level of superstardom and like others have stated, is one of the strongest lyrics on their record that deserves further cultivation in the years to come.
