The first name that screams out when listening to British songbird Paris Paloma is Florence & the Machine. One imagines that she might be sick of hearing that comparison, but it’s genuinely a huge compliment. It’s not that she’s a Florence sound-alike or anything like that—Paloma is clearly her own artist with things to say.
But her epic waves carry the listener away so completely, in seas of total joy or overwhelming devastation, that it just feels very Florence-esque. Paloma’s voice is haunting, delicate and frankly beautiful. But it’s the construction of these songs that showcases what a special artist she is.
