Paris Paloma doesn't waste time when speaking on a topic she is very passionate about. She gifted us 'the warmth' which helps us open our minds to the cycle of personal growth and a personal renewal. The song offers a metaphorical change in seasons within our lives. The lyrics, "It's thawing / And melting the ice / White goats are grazing the mountainside," give us a glimpse into the thought process of season change within our minds. From one season comes another, and then on to the next. We might believe that change or growth can be scary, but Paris Paloma gently shows us how exciting and safe it can actually be to walk through life in this way. One of the strongest sets of lyrics is, "I used to think that I / Was running from the night / But I've been following behind / The light, all this time / It can't hurt me / It's still there but it can't now the warmth's returning." This set of lyrics explains itself and does exactly what it needs to in terms of helping us transition from one season of life to another.
This song is the perfect blend of folk and indie. When the music begins, it takes us to this place which frankly reminds me a lot of Game of Thrones. We get the upbeat folk aspect that comes from string instruments, mixed with a little bit of electronic beats that polish the indie side of the song. One of the more noticeable instruments is the drum. Throughout the piece, you can hear the drum and the way it fluctuates throughout this musical journey. A key part of this musical piece is the lyrics, that hold deeper meaning than what you initially hear. Though the wording isn't overly complicated, the lyrics pack a powerful punch. When you factor in the artist's voice, it blends the piece together. The vocals add the finishing touches to the perfect folk song.
Paris Paloma is a rising singer-songwriter from the UK. The song 'the warmth' is the final single leading up to her long-awaited debut album 'Cacophony' which is set to release in late August. Most people say that Paloma's music reads more like poetry and that she draws inspiration from figures throughout mythology, art history and the Romantics. Her style falls under the indie and folk genre mixed with a little bit of dark pop as well. When asked why Paloma thinks the song resonates with so many listeners, she said, "I don't like to think too hard about it. Some people say it's because of its simplicity. People can find what they need to find in it. There are people who have experiences that I've never had that are using the song, which is so wonderful. They're using it to explain their experience." Paris Paloma is a bright star who will without a doubt never burn out.
