Paris Paloma – Releases New Single ‘I Cry In Front of Paintings’ Ahead of Second Album

Paris Paloma has shared “I Cry In Front Of Paintings,” the latest song from her highly-anticipated second album The Fatal Flaw, out on 4 September via Nettwerk Music Group. Like recent single “Pre-Raphaelite,” and her ode to stop AI destroying art forms “Miyazaki”, “I Cry In Front Of Paintings” comes from Paris’ deep love and care of art, mythology and nature. Closing the album, Paris calls the song, “the slow step into gentleness, safety and love”. It arrives with a video as beautifully stripped back as the song itself; Paris alone, addressing the camera. “I Cry In Front Of Paintings” follows an incredible summer of festival dates including Lollapalooza and Hinterland, where Sofia Isella joined Paris on-stage to perform feminist breakthrough anthem “Labour.” Last month Paris also made her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Late debut, where she performed “Miyazaki” and a powerful cover of Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater”, which the pop star re-shared. 

“‘I Cry In Front Of Paintings’ is the release at the end of the album. It is the slow, decided step and subsequent fall into gentleness, safety, and love. It comes after the bitter, terrifying, passionate journey where you discover yourself, you question what you deserve, and you are finally able to accept it. When I was 17, I stood in front of a Rothko painting, not knowing why I couldn’t cry in front of it like other people did. At 23, I stood in front of a lover, and didn’t know why I couldn’t love them how I wanted to. Both times I blamed myself, worried I was incapable of loving, incapable of appreciating art. “I Cry In Front Of Paintings” is the relief of emotional epiphany, where you find love, you find understanding, just not where you thought or expected. It’s about the sense that you were always meant to find it, when you were ready for it, when you were able to accept the love you deserve.” – Paris Paloma
