Life in a Paper Boat is the fourteenth solo album by English folk singer Kate Rusby, released in October 2016. The album, while featuring Rusby’s signature mix of traditional and original songs, marked a sonic departure from previous releases: synthesizers and drum programming were used extensively throughout the record. Critics described the sonic change as "done in the best possible taste….any initial surprise or shock soon wears off as you get accustomed to the gentle opulence of the soundscape”[1] and “[giving] a modern context while retaining all the elements…[of] the folk tradition."[2] The album’s titular track, a Rusby composition, was inspired by the European migrant crisis.[3]
