Rising UK artist Paris Paloma enlists fans’ empowered and roaring vocals for "LABOUR (the cacophony)", a new multi-track single celebrating the 1st anniversary of her viral, Billboard-charting breakthrough single, “labour,” out March 29th. The multi-track single, which includes a new version of “labour” (titled “LABOUR (the cacophony)”) featuring more than 100 fan vocals throughout the song, the original track, and the bedroom demo, was announced on International Women’s Day, creating an explosive reaction from fans. With over 5.5 million views on TikTok and 3 million views on Instagram, the “labour” movement shows no signs of slowing down. Pre-order here.

On “labour,” Paris’s journal-like lyricism and incisive strain of compelling, dark folk-pop melodies skewered the knots of women’s emotional labour, immediately becoming a rallying cry worldwide upon official release last March. The track broke over 100 million streams on Spotify, cracked the Official UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Chart, and served as the soundtrack to tens of thousands of TikToks. The success spurred sold-out shows around the UK as well as festivals and shows in the US and Australia.

Building off the “labour” momentum, a recent European tour with Maisie Peters, and sold-out U.K. headline shows, Paris will bring her poignant lyrics, vivid storytelling, and spell-binding live show to the U.S. for her debut headline tour starting June 12th in San Francisco. Don’t miss Paris performing her previously released tracks “my mind (now)” “drywall,” “as good a reason,” “yeti” and “labour,” as well as unreleased music from her forthcoming debut album (details TBA). Tickets go on sale to the general public on March 15th at 10 AM local time.

Through her thoughtful and confident lyrics, Paris Paloma weaves vivid stories, drawing parallels between the past and present to bring her 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. From the tender and heartbreaking to the sublimely aggressive and vengeful, her ethereal sound takes influences from dark pop, folk, and indie, creating a discography that evokes something primal, powerful, and innately feminine.

Such vulnerability can be difficult to confront, and all the more to articulate as art, “but I feel very held by my listeners,” Paris says. This symbiotic care between artist and listener is innate within Paris’s devoted fanbase, and it’s that connection that led to the creation of “LABOUR (the cacophony).” She’s cultivated a community both off and online: on TikTok, her 450K 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 and a Breakthrough Artist to Watch 2024 by Amazon.
