In an era of heavy production, The Skinnier Tapes cuts through the noise with stripped-back honesty.

The Skinnier Tapes is a 5-song piano/vocal EP that unfolds like a diary you weren’t meant to read — raw, unguarded, and deeply human. Written by Maura Streppa and friends between the ages of 20 and 24, these songs capture the turbulence of heartbreak, the pull of old patterns, and the fight to reclaim self-worth.

With nothing to hide behind but piano and voice, the project leans into intimacy. Each track is a snapshot of survival — not just stories told after the fact, but real-time emotional documentation. Together, they form an arc that begins in heartbreak and ends in healing.
