Paris Paloma Offers Darkly Sharp Pop Songcraft, In-Studio

Soundcheck | 16 hours ago

British singer and songwriter Paris Paloma, a very sharp and thoughtful young artist who considers grief, politics, creativity, love, art, Greek mythology, and power structures in her music and in interviews, has opened for Florence & the Machine, played Glastonbury, and lent her voice to the Tolkien universe. She has built a community – her fairies –over the past few years, from her first EP, 2021’s cemeteries and socials (you want dark? Folk-horror-pop? She’s got you) to what will be her latest album, The Fatal Flaw, due out in September 2026. [View the artwork for the single “Good Boy”]

Paris Paloma offers the anti-AI song  “Miyazaki”, about the unstoppable human need to create – and yes, named after the legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki. Plus, she plays an intimate version of her feminist anthem, “Labour”, (which she played with the Resistance Revival Chorus on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2025), in-studio. 

Set list: 1. Labour 2. Miyazaki 3. Stem the Flow
