British singer-songwriter Paris Paloma, best known for her viral feminist anthem "Labor," has released a new album, The Fatal Flaw, which she describes as a personal response to the dismissive phrase "it's not that deep." Speaking on the Going There with Dr. Mike podcast, Paloma explains that the record explores a culture that discourages open emotional expression and accountability, drawing on her own experiences of gendered violence, shame and self-blame, and argues instead that everything is, in fact, that deep.

In the conversation, Paloma also speaks candidly about living with "confessional OCD," describing the isolating compulsion to seek reassurance from others about intrusive thoughts, and credits EMDR therapy and songs by Florence Welch and Sophie May with helping her recovery, which she stresses "isn't linear." The album, influenced by bell hooks' writing on love, includes tracks such as "Good Boy," "Beautiful Birds" and "Stem the Flow." Paloma is currently touring in support of The Fatal Flaw, with tickets and physical copies of the album available via her official channels.
