Paris Paloma

This is a PSA: Paris Paloma is calling on men to break free from chasing empty approval in a system that
harms everyone, including them, on her new single “Good Boy” featuring Emma Thompson. With biting
wit and unflinching honesty, the track flips manosphere rhetoric into a rallying cry for dismantling
patriarchy and reclaiming solidarity between men and women.

‍
Paris and Emma Thompson first crossed paths while working on The Lord of the Rings: War of the
Rohirrim, reconnecting when Emma attended Paris’s sold-out Shepherd’s Bush Empire show. When Paris
decided to open “Good Boy” with journalist Rebecca Shaw’s viral headline, she could only imagine it in
Emma’s commanding, empathetic voice — making her the perfect collaborator for this moment. Directed
by BAFTA winner Georgie Cowan-Turner and starring Tom Blyth, the video is a satirical allegory of
patriarchy in the workplace, with Paris embodying both artist and oppressor.

‍
This bold new chapter builds on a breakthrough year. Her Gold-certified single “Labour” became a cultural lightning rod in 2023, for its unflinching dissection of women’s emotional labour. It sparked more than 11 billion views across social media, 600 million Spotify streams, and soundtracked movements from
reproductive rights campaigns to anti–sexual violence advocacy. Paris performed the feminist anthem on
late-night television (Colbert, Later... with Jools Holland, The Kelly Clarkson Show), and earned support
from The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, British Vogue, Rolling Stone, Billboard,
NME, PAPER, CNN, The Boston Globe and more.

‍
Her debut album Cacophony (2024) landed at #23 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and has already
surpassed 1 billion global streams. Inspired by Stephen Fry’s Mythos and the creation born from chaos,
the 15-track record unfolds like a Greek theatre staging — a “quest” through grief, love, patriarchy, and
trauma toward catharsis and healing. “Being unapologetically vulnerable feels wild,” Paris reflects. “It’s
breaking down boundaries, a return to something primal.”
‍

On stage, Paris has carved out a reputation for creating worlds as immersive as her records. Her headline
shows — from the intimacy of London’s Hoxton Hall to the soaring Shepherd’s Bush Empire — are
gatherings where community is as important as performance. Fans trade books and handwritten notes,
exchange fairy messages, and form impromptu circles, before lifting their voices together in unison with
hers. These concerts have become sanctuaries, both tender and defiant, where audiences see
themselves reflected in her songs.
‍

To honour this connection, Paris released the short film The Space Between Claps, capturing the
whirlwind of her breakthrough year. Alongside her sold-out UK, EU, and US runs, she has performed at
Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Bergenfest, All Things Go Festival and supported Stevie Nicks at BST
Hyde Park. In 2026, she will join Florence + The Machine on their UK & EU arena tour, including two
nights at London’s O2 — a landmark moment that unites two distinct but powerful voices in modern
folk-pop.
‍

Fashion is also central to Paris Paloma’s worldbuilding, extending her music into visual mythology. On
tour she wore “the blood dress”, a visceral symbol of rage and reclamation that became iconic among her
fans. She has since collaborated with Dior and Prada on custom pieces that blur couture with
commentary. One dress was embroidered with the words so often weaponised against women — “nag,
difficult, fierce, moody” — transforming them into a kind of armour. Styled by Leith Clark, Paris gravitates
towards the eerie femininity of designers like Simone Rocha, using fashion as a canvas for resistance and
storytelling. For Paris’ latest “Good Boy” music video, Bora Aksu custom made the look for the ‘Patriarchy’
character Paris plays.

Adding to her growing legacy, Paris also performed “The Rider” for The War of the Rohirrim, stepping into
a Tolkien musical tradition that includes Enya and Annie Lennox.
‍

From her beginnings as a Derbyshire teenager writing songs in her bedroom, to Goldsmiths fine art
graduate sketching her own cover art, to international stages and critical acclaim, Paris Paloma has
emerged as one of the most vital new feminist voices in music. With Good Boy, she continues to turn
personal catharsis into collective power — a worldbuilder weaving myth, grief, rage, and love into songs
that feel both timeless and urgently of this moment.
