Paris Paloma Delivers Incisive Single “Boys, Bugs And Men”; Debut Album “Cacophony” Out August 30

Rising UK artist Paris Paloma’s latest single “boys, bugs and men” is a deceptively sweet sounding, yet lyrically incisive observation of men discovering their ability to exert power over the powerless, even at a young age. Listen HERE and watch HERE.

Paris recently announced her highly anticipated debut album Cacophony is set for release on August 30th. Her ethereal sound and fiery lyrics evoke powerful emotional responses from fans, as witnessed on her previously released tracks “my mind (now)” “drywall,” “as good a reason,” “yeti,” and the viral, Billboard-charting single that ignited it all, “labour.” The album’s 15 tracks range from tender and heartbreaking to sublimely aggressive and vengeful. Taking influences from dark pop, folk, and indie, Paris creates  a discography that evokes something primal, powerful, and innately feminine. Pre-order HERE. 

Paris is currently on her sold out European/U.K. headline tour before she brings her live show to the U.S. for her sold out debut headline tour. The U.S. tour starts June 12th San Francisco and wraps June 26th in New York City, all leading up to what’s sure to be an unforgettable show with the legendary Stevie Nicks in London at BST Hyde Park on July 12th alongside Brandi Carlile and Anna Calvi. All upcoming dates are listed below. 

Paris continues to build momentum around “labour” after recently performing a chilling rendition of the track on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The profound rallying cry struck a nerve with women around the globe, breaking over 100 million streams on Spotify, cracking the Official UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Chart, and soundtracking tens of thousands of TikToks. Watch HERE. Additionally, Paris is excited to announce that she has recently been confirmed to perform ‘labour’ on BBC Two’s Later… with Jools Holland airing in June. More details forthcoming. 

Earlier this spring, on International Women’s Day, Paris caused an uproar with the announcement of LABOUR (the cacophony), a new EP celebrating the 1 year anniversary of “labour.” The post reignited fans’ excitement, with over 8 million views on TikTok and 3 million views on Instagram. “LABOUR (the cacophony)” was born out of the symbiotic care between Paris and her devoted fanbase. She’s cultivated a community both online and off: on TikTok, her 580K followers send her videos (of thoughts, song snippets, and tour moments) into six-figure views. Fan-made art and videos analyzing her lyrics span social media.  These are roots laid deep, as Paris gains wider recognition from NME to Billboard, as YouTube’s Trending Artist on the Rise,  Breakthrough Artist to Watch 2024 by Amazon, as Spotify Juniper Artist to Watch and as Spotify Equal Ambassador.

Through her thoughtful and confident lyrics, Paris Paloma paints pictures and tells stories with her songs, drawing parallels between the past and present to bring her own perspective on themes of love, grief, death and power. With a Goldsmiths degree in Fine Arts, her songwriting and visuals are inspired by fantasy as much as real life, drawing inspiration from mythology, art history and the Romantics, alongside the human experience. 

The album title, Cacophony, is inspired by Stephen Fry’s Mythos, ruminating on the creation myth. “From this chaotic cosmic yawn, creation sprang forth,” Paris explains, “so this is a collection that makes sense of the overwhelming space of my mind where my anxiety, my OCD, and trauma processing lives.”
