If there is a way for music to emulate dripping wax, freshly blown-out candles and the discomfort of being stared down by a table of men, Paris Paloma has done it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter\u2019s Gothic music is, at times, a refresh of Greek mythology, religion and art. She expertly concocts stories that combine her own experience with impeccable references that leave audiences feeling like they learned something about not only her and themselves, but the world we inhabit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just always been a vehicle for me to tell very biographical stories and still have some distance and protection from it,\u201d said Paloma in a <\/b>Zoom interview from her London home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her breakout song, \u201cLabour,\u201d sounds like it drips from the pomegranate-stained lips of Persephone, drenching the undervalued people who postdate her in righteous, red fury. It\u2019s a reckoning for subjugated people, a way to put into words the feeling of being used for all your worth and then tossed aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the folk ballad, Paloma sings: \u201cAll day, every day, therapist, mother, maid\/ Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant\/ Just an appendage, live to attend him\/ So that he never lifts a finger\/ 24\/7, baby machine\/ So he can live out his picket fence dreams\/ It\u2019s not an act of love if you make her\/ You make me do too much labour.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The song went viral on TikTok, with users sharing their experiences with sexism as the song\u2019s lyrics pounded in the background. \u201cNo one can prepare you for that level of visibility in such a short space of time,\u201d says Paloma. \u201cIt was just picked up by women, by the trans community, by the queer community, everyone [who] resonated with it. It became something so much bigger than me, which I was so grateful for. But also at the time, I felt really ill-equipped to thank everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To show her appreciation and give a voice to those who connected with her music, Paloma created a new version of the song in March 2024 <\/a>(a year after the original was released), featuring background vocals, art and videos from fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Adam and Eve references also make their way into Paloma\u2019s work. In \u201cThe Fruits,\u201d she focuses on the difficulty of women embracing their sexuality under patriarchy when their sex is the thing that so often causes women danger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c\u2018Devil,\u2019 you call me\/ But seems to be enjoying\/ The fruits of my labour that came to me too young\/ When he stole my virtue\/ I\u2019m glad it seems to serve you\/ That I was born a daughter and not a son,\u201d she sings in the track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Paloma\u2019s new album \u201cCacophony,\u201d out Aug. 30, continues her mythos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The opening song for the album, called \u201cMy Mind (Now),\u201d and the name of the album itself were directly inspired by the Greek mythological creation story, particularly how Stephen Fry wrote about it in his book \u201cMythos.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the idea that life in Greek mythology, instead of a big bang, they said that the universe began with chaos. And out of this chaos \u2014 this great cosmic yawn of a cacophony of noises \u2014 in the darkness, creation sprang forth,\u201d she says. \u201cThat felt like my creative process because songwriting is what comes out of the chaos in my mind. So it\u2019s both what informed the song and the title of the album because all of these songs are born out of this creation myth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so chaotic to the point that creation is what must spring from it in order for you to cope.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
