After over a year since her previous release, Simone Toweel is back with her latest single, Paper Planes. The song captures the innocence and freedom of childhood, reminding listeners to hold onto the joy of life’s simple moments. “Paper Planes is a personal reminder to slow down and find happiness in the little things,” Simone shares. “As kids, we could create magic from almost nothing—a folded piece of paper could become something that flies. I hope this song encourages people to reconnect with that wonder.” The latest single is a continuation of Simone’s journey as a storyteller and musician, blending heartfelt messages with her signature sound.

Simone’s music has always been rooted in authenticity. Her debut single, Now You See Me, in 2022 introduced herself to the South Africa’s music scene. Her follow-up, Dear Anxiety, tackled mental health and resonated with listeners navigating similar struggles. With Paper Planes, she continues to create music that is both relatable and deeply personal.
Simone grew up in Durban, where her love of storytelling began at an early age. Her journey has been shaped by her ability to connect with people, turning her experiences into songs that inspire and comfort. “This song in particular came from reflecting on my own life and how much I’ve grown over the past year,” Simone explains. “It’s a simple song, but sometimes those are the ones that mean the most.”
Paper Planes is now available on all major streaming platforms. Keep up to date with the latest from Simone on social media: @simone_toweel
