The Chanteuse

Paula Kelley, the singer, songwriter and musical arranger of “I’d Fall in Love with Anyone,” is remarkably talented. She is widely recognized for her depth and passion as a composer and her ability to make lush-sounding pop arrangements.

Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s Paula dominated the Boston music scene as a core member of such bands as Drop Nineteens, Hot Rod, Boy Wonder, and the Paula Kelley Orchestra. The PKO album The Trouble With Success (Or How You Fit into the World) was named Best Local Album of 2003 by the Boston Phoenix and the Boston Herald. “I’d Fall in Love with Anyone” found its first home on that album.

Paula’s educational underpinnings include Phillips Exeter Academy, the famed private high school where she was the only music nerd and learned to imitate a rich kid’s accent. (This skill once came in handy when Kelley was called on to impersonate Madonna.) She majored in history at Boston University and studied theory and arranging at Berklee College of Music.
