Indie Folk songwriter Paris Paloma has been taking the music world by storm in the past couple of years with her string of singles leading to widespread acclaim and over 3 million monthly Spotify listeners!
Known for the swooping caress of her smooth vocal palette, her latest single 'my mind (now)' has a more angst-fuelled, gritty tone to it which, once again, showcases another side of Paris' sonic tool kit.
The soothing a capella intro uses a range of vocal tones as instruments, creating a rich vocal textural bed for the lead vocals to sit on top of. This artistic use of vocals is reminiscent of Alt-J. However, the gentle, ethereal opening is quickly replaced as the words "I knew you had a temper but I guess I thought I was immune", instantly alerting you to the darker themes about to unfold.
The rolling beat is punchy and powerful while a really dense background of electronic atmospherics creates an angsty yet vibrant sound full of whirling emotions. The vocals soar among this dense sound and create a really empowering, poignant track. The brass brings a hopeful joy while the gritty guitar textures bring a darker frustration.
So, whatever emotion you're looking to experience you can find it deep within this wonderfully rich Indie Pop hit!
