The Derbyshire-born musician gave the world "labour" in 2023. It was the first song she'd ever fully recorded in a proper studio - early releases like "narcissus" in 2020, 2021 EP cemeteries and socials, and 2023's "notre dame" were produced in her own bedroom or others'. But early clips she posted with stolen lyrics of "labour" to TikTok had already garnered a curious audience. Its journal-like lyricism and incisive strain of compelling, dark folk-pop skewered the knots of women's emotional labour, and it immediately became a rallying cry worldwide upon official release. The track broke over 100 million streams on Spotify, cracked the Official UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Chart, and soundtracked tens of thousands of TikToks. It spurred on sold-out shows around the UK, and Paris, armed with a compact slew of songs, travelled to the US and Australia for the festival circuit. "I matured because of 'labour'," Paris explains. "As a young artist you're both protected and limited - you're putting songs that are so intimate into a void. It's made me more considerate about how vulnerable these songs are going to be."
