Aubrie Sellers’ Intergalactic, Sci-Fi Glam “Paper Doll” Takes on the Copycats
Singer-Songwriter Delivers Latest Installment of Empowering Music Videos
One week ago, CMT premiered Aubrie Sellers’ stellar and perfectly timed video for “Magazines”
as part of her campaign to empower girls everywhere by tackling the
stereotypes surrounding today’s woman. Now, she’s back with “Paper
Doll,” an intergalactic-glam ode to the importance of standing out in
the crowd.
Inspired to take a stand and make a statement after seeing films from
the 1950s and ’60s not portraying women in a fair light, the
singer-songwriter decided to turn the concepts on its ears in a way that
instead empowers women, using the music videos for the songs
“Magazines” and “Paper Doll” as her outlet and acclaimed L.A. based
director Millicent Hailes as her guide.
She said both songs are about “phoniness in different forms.”
“Magazines” took a shot at celebrity culture by taking on the 1957
classic Funny Face starring Audrey Hepburn in a way that questions how
we view women in society.
Inspired by the 1953 cult sci-fi film Cat-Women of the Moon, “Paper
Doll” takes on the ever-growing homogenization of the female aesthetic
and persona in society and how it’s important to embrace who you are and
not be like the rest.
In a behind-the-scenes video, Sellers talks about the “eye-opening
experience” of touring and really putting herself out there with her
current, unconventional record. She says she excited for new music and
what comes next — and so are we.
