Reference excerpt

Paris Paloma Phillips (born 17 November 1999) is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. She gained prominence through the single "Labour" (2023). Her debut album, Cacophony, was released in 2024.

Early life Paloma grew up in Ashbourne, in the English county of Derbyshire, and attended Cheltenham Ladies’ College. She studied Fine Art and History of Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in 2022.

Career Paloma met her first producer Harry Charlton in March 2020, with whom she made her debut single "Narcissus" and then "Ocean Baby", "cradle" and "Underneath". During the COVID-19 lockdown, Paloma joined the Hybrid Tribe programme and was discovered by David Fernandez of High Plateau Productions. She released her debut EP cemeteries and socials in 2021. She continued putting out singles, including "The Fruits" and "It's Called: Freefall". Her cover of "Tell It to my Heart" was promoted by Hozier on social media. Paloma subsequently signed with Nettwerk in 2022, through which she released her first singles under the label "Forsaken" in December 2022 and "Notre Dame" in February 2023. In March 2023, Paloma broke out with the single "Labour", described as a feminist anthem about the unpaid domestic labour women have been made to do throughout history. The song received 1 million streams on Spotify within 24 hours of release, and 1 million views on YouTube. A viral TikTok trend started in which various women around the world related the song to their own experiences with sexism. "Labour" became Paloma's first charting single in the UK and on Billboard in the US.

"Labour" was followed by further singles "Yeti" featuring Old Sea Brigade in July, "As Good a Reason" in September, and "Drywall" in October. She performed at the 2023 Bonnaroo, Summerfest, TRNSMT, All Points East, and Live at Leeds. At the start of 2024, Paloma released the single "My Mind (Now)". In February 2024, Paloma supported Maisie Peters on the Europe leg of Peters' The Good Witch Tour. This was followed by a five-date UK headline tour in May and then U.S. dates. Paloma made her debut at the 2024 Glastonbury Music Festival on the BBC Introducing stage. She was named a Future Artist by BBC Radio 1. Paloma also appeared at the Best Kept Secret, BST Hyde Park where she supported Stevie Nicks, Splendour in the Grass, and Reading and Leeds. At the end of August 2024 via Nettwerk, Paloma released her debut album Cacophony. Ahead of its release, she shared the track "The Warmth". In September, she embarked on a headline tour in Europe, supported by Sarah Julia. For The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) soundtrack, Paloma performed an original song titled "The Rider", composed by David Long. Paloma took her tour to North America with 15 dates in 2025. In August 2025, she released the single "Good Boy", featuring an introduction verse by Emma Thompson. A follow-up single in the same series, "Good Girl," was released in January 2026. In February 2026, Paloma joined Florence + the Machine on the European leg of the band's Everybody Scream Tour. In March 2026, Paloma released her anti-AI anthem "Miyazaki." In May, the single "Stem the Flow" was released, accompanied by a music video. Two days later, Paloma announced her upcoming second album, The Fatal Flaw, set for release on 4 September 2026, with a tracklist and international tour dates. Two further singles, "Pre-Raphealite" and "I Cry in Front of Paintings", were released on 24 July and 14 August 2026, respectively.

Artistry

During her childhood, Paloma's mother played soul and jazz at home. Paloma developed an admiration for lyricists who tell stories and use wordplay in both simple and complex ways, such as Ed Sheeran. Sheeran's debut album + (2011) inspired Paloma to learn guitar. This translated into a further love for the storytelling of Florence + the Machine and Hozier, who "massively" influenced her. She cited Grimes for her "worldbuilding" and Aurora as further influences, and also mentioned enjoying The Mountain Goats and Harry Nilsson. Paloma often looks towards literature and mythology in her songwriting, as well as fine art. Her debut single "Narcissus" was directly inspired by artwork of the titular Greek myth, and her second single "Ocean Baby" evoked the characteristics of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Her 2021 single "the last beautiful thing i saw is the thing that blinded me" alludes to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, while Madeline Miller's Circe (2017) shaped parts of her 2023 single "Labour". Her debut album, Cacophony, drew from Stephen Fry's Mythos (2017); she also read Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches (2022).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Paris Paloma

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Paris Paloma claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Paris Paloma before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Paris Paloma ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Paris Paloma

In research: Paris Paloma appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Paris Paloma in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Paris Paloma is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1999 births, 21st-century English guitarists, 21st-century English singer-songwriters, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Paris Paloma outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
