Critically acclaimed British singer and songwriter and one of the most vital feminist voices in music Paris Paloma, announces her second album The Fatal Flaw, set for release on September 4th via Nettwerk Music Group. She has also announced details of The Fatal Flaw tour, which includes a show in The National Stadium, Dublin on 25th November 2026.
The Fatal Flaw is an epic exploration of love and becoming, shaped by Paris’ deepest preoccupations: connection, identity, art, nature, feminism and the emotional truth that underpins them. Premiering as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, “Stem The Flow“ is a song rooted in survival and persistence, drawing on instinct and inner strength to push through darkness. This new chapter builds on a breakthrough year for the Brighton based artist, with platinum-certified single “Labour” sparking more than 11 billion views on social media, 750 million Spotify streams, and soundtracking movements from reproductive rights campaigns to anti–sexual violence advocacy. Having just completed a sold-out UK and European arena tour supporting Florence + The Machine, Florence joined Paris on stage in Berlin for a powerful rendition of “Labour”, moving audiences globally.
Paris has also announces her biggest ever headline tour “The Fatal Flaw Tour” in UK, Europe and North America this winter, playing at venues including The Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on 22 September, Brooklyn Paramount and O2 Academy Brixton on 17 November. This summer, Paris will perform at festivals across Europe and North America, including appearances at Hinterland, Rock Werchter, Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, after a whirlwind year of festival appearances in 2025 and landmark moments such as performing at All Things Go, Glastonbury, Southside, Bergenfest and sold out UK, EU and US runs, including her most recent debut headline Australian tour. Paris has fostered a devoted fanbase that has transformed her live shows into unforgettable events, from trading fairy messages to swapping books to impromptu fae circles.
If Paris’ critically acclaimed 2024 debut Cacophony, which boasts over 1 Billion streams, offered a window into her inner world, The Fatal Flaw sees Paris Paloma turn herself inside-out. Across soaring vocals and cinematic, intricately layered production, she conducts a meticulous post-mortem of her own emotions, including the album’s opener “Miyazaki”, a defiant ode to the unstoppable human need to create. Named after legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, “Miyazaki” is a creative manifesto and propulsive introduction to the album, Paris declaring: “I have something to say”, as she puts her voice to Mother Nature, recording a version with Nature and raising money for Brian Eno’s environmental charity Earth Percent. The official video, directed by long-time collaborator Georgie Cowan Turner, sees Paris playing The Soldier, running from an ominous, threatening figure that you never really see fully. The design for the monster was modelled after an AI zombie that Hayao Miyazaki was presented with and called “an insult to life itself”.
“Miyazaki” follows “Good Girl”, a formidable alt-dance song that reckons with diet culture, anti-ageing obsession and the need to appeal to the male gaze that’s often imposed on women. The video is directed by Georgie Cowan-Turner and stars actor Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) as a controlling creator, while Paris plays a statue brought to life. The video explores surveillance, objectification and ownership, culminating in Paris reclaiming agency and turning the lens back on her observer. Paris recently sparked widespread conversation on the song’s release day, following her appearance on BBC Woman’s Hour, where a clip of her discussing women’s lived experiences and the themes behind her music quickly went viral, amassing over 3.1 million views and 160,000 likes across social platforms. The moment further cemented her reputation as one of the most articulate and vital young voices navigating feminism, culture and modern womanhood in music today and a worldbuilder who weaves myth, grief, rage, and love into songs that are timeless and urgently of this moment. Last year Paris released “Good Boy,” a razor- sharp track calling out the manosphere and asking for solidarity over submission to the patriarchy. The track features an opening from the legendary actor Emma Thompson, and the video stars actor Tom Blyth.
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, as well as invitations to support superstar Noah Kahan and the legendary Stevie Nicks at Hyde Park in London. Widely celebrated by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, PORTER, WONDERLAND, Billboard, CNN, The Boston Globe, PAPER, Bust, and more, she has also been spotlighted as YouTube’s Trending Artist on the Rise, an Amazon Breakthrough Artist to Watch, a Spotify Juniper Artist to Watch, and a Spotify EQUAL Ambassador.
In 2024, Paris added to her accolades by performing “The Rider” for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, joining a legacy of musical icons like Ed Sheeran, Annie Lennox, and Enya who have lent their voices to the Tolkien universe.
