The track continues an irresistible run of form from the exciting artist
Arresting, powerful, ethereal, Paris Paloma is an artist who’s transcendent indie pop sound has all of the qualities to propel her into the stratosphere, melding thoughtful, personal lyrics with expansive soundscapes that whirr with life and engrossing appeal.
The latest single from the artist is ‘my mind (now)’, a track that bursts into life following a gorgeous acapella opening in triumphant and truly rousing style. The track explores the artist’s struggles with trauma and her resulting OCD and anxiety, but feels more like a glowing statement of defiance more so than a white flag, feeling inescapably rousing and inspirational as it grows in stature with a memorable, fierce flair. Paris Paloma continues to establish and re-establish herself as a titan of a modern artist, and each new release seems to uncover a little bit more of her creativity and guile.
“My Mind (now) is about the BC and the AD of trauma, and what it did to my mental state, the feeling that an event was so cataclysmic that it rearranged the chemical makeup of my mind.” Paris Paloma says of the new release. “The song is a reflection of my struggle with OCD and anxiety as a response to traumatic events, and the electrical storm of emotions that exists inside my head, filling it with noise that never seems to leave, as I search for a few seconds of respite and quiet from it. It is also about the power other people hold to set that trauma into motion, and both the fragility and strength of the human mind. my mind (now) is an embodiment of the the act of creation in the form of art and writing as a coping mechanism that comes out of the overwhelming noise and chaos of the mind.”
