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 Keith 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.
