One to watch: Paris Paloma
Her 2023 feminist anthem Labour went viral; now, the English folk-pop artist with gothic sensibilities turns her attention to Greek myth
Channelling a gothic sense of femininity and a strong set of lungs that place her as a natural successor to Florence + the Machine, Paloma makes music rooted in romantic literature and centuries of history. The record ranges from literal screams – on opener My Mind (Now) – to softer moments, such as the brooding, string-laden melancholy of His Land, or Triassic Love Song, whose tender sparseness recalls early Billie Eilish. The through line is an eye for wild women and cruel men, untamed passions and wind-whipped, doomed romances that should gift Kate Bush’s recently acquired new generation of fans their next infatuation.
