Paperwhite, the synth-pop duo of siblings Katie and Ben Marshall, return today with a glowing reimagining of their single “By Your Side,” remixed by indie pop darlings Savoir Adore. The track is available now on all streaming platforms via this link.
Known for their dreamy and melody-rich aesthetic, Paperwhite‘s original track already shimmered with emotional resonance. Now, Savoir Adore—led by longtime friend and collaborator Paul Hammer—injects the song with a warm, groove-laced energy. Syncopated basslines and rich new harmonies create a sun-drenched atmosphere that evokes late-summer nights and windows-down drives.
“I’ve been a fan of Katie and Ben’s music since our time sharing a rehearsal space in Brooklyn,” says Paul Hammer of Savoir Adore. “The vocal and instrumental hook are so strong, and I immediately heard them working over a mid-tempo, syncopated bassline. From there it was super fun to reimagine the song with new harmony over this poolside-esque summer beat.”
This radiant remix marks the latest step in Paperwhite’s return to the spotlight following their hiatus. The New York-based duo first made waves with their lush brand of synth-pop over a decade ago, earning accolades from Billboard, Vice, Buzzfeed, and Spotify’s editorial curators. Twice named Hype Machine’s Most Blogged Artist, they’ve toured with acts like Oh Wonder, SOFI TUKKER, and Great Good Fine Ok, building a devoted fanbase through both their recorded output and magnetic live shows.
With the release of “Unfold” in late 2024, Paperwhite signaled the start of a new creative era. Their upcoming EP—expected this Spring—blends their signature cinematic synth-pop with organic textures and emotionally charged songwriting, offering a soundscape rooted in self-discovery and transformation.
“By Your Side (Savoir Adore Remix)” is more than just a remix—it’s a celebration of connection, evolution, and the enduring power of indie collaboration.
