Albums

Paloma releases her debut studio album, Cacophony, in 2024. The album expands on her earlier writing and examines gender roles, autonomy, rage, vulnerability, community and societal expectations. It is preceded by the singles labour, as good a reason, my mind (now), the warmth and last woman on earth. labour becomes a viral success and raises her international profile, particularly through its focus on emotional labour and patriarchal structures.

She later announces her second studio album, The Fatal Flaw, for 2026 on Nettwerk Music Group. Paloma describes the album as an exploration of love in its many forms.
