Paris Paloma Releases 'Pre-Raphaelite' From Upcoming Sophomore Album THE FATAL FLAW
The folk-pop artist draws on Victorian art movement imagery for the introspective new track.
Paris Paloma has released 'Pre-Raphaelite,' a new song from her upcoming sophomore album THE FATAL FLAW, set to arrive on September 4.
The song is described as a love letter to the female gaze, detailing an admiration for women's beauty without sexualisation of their being. Along with the song, Paloma shared a music video directed by Rianne White, inspired by The Three Muses of Greek mythology, reimagined to portray the women Paloma has observed throughout her life with a mixture of wonder, jealousy, and admiration.

If Paris' critically acclaimed 2024 debut Cacophony, which boasts over a billion streams, offered a window into her inner world, THE FATAL FLAW sees Paris Paloma turn herself inside-out. Taking its name from the opening line of Donna Tartt's seminal novel The Secret History, the album charts the depths and heights of human emotion, with influences ranging from the seascapes of J.W. Turner, the writings of intersectional feminist bell hooks and the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelites — a world of vast landscapes, ancient treasures and myth woven through song. Its artwork, a great red tree inspired by Ithell Colquhoun's Diagrams of Love, imagines the intricate root system at the album's core: an arc from emotional blockage to overspill, and art as Paris' most intimate relationship.
'Pre-Raphaelite' arrives amid extraordinary momentum for the Brighton-based artist. The singles 'Miyazaki,' 'Stem The Flow,' 'Good Boy' and 'Good Girl' from THE FATAL FLAW have already amassed 30 million streams to date. In connection, Paris' platinum-certified breakthrough single 'Labour' — the song that ignited a global feminist movement — has now surpassed almost over a billion streams.
Additionally, Paris will take her live show back on the road this year for an extensive run of headline dates across Europe and North America. 'The Fatal Flaw Tour' marks her biggest ever run of shows and includes major festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds Festival, Osheaga Festival, Hinterland Music Festival and more. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.parispaloma.co.uk/home/#tour.
Paris' feminist impact has commanded major stages and screens, including performances on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' 'BBC's Later... with Jools Holland' and 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' with acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Billboard and more. Named YouTube's 'Trending Artist on the Rise,' Amazon's 'Breakthrough Artist to Watch' and Spotify's 'EQUAL Ambassador,' she also contributed 'The Rider' to The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, joining a lineage of artists whose voices have shaped the Tolkien universe.
