Following the intimately personal nature of her previous project, The Glorification of Sadness, which chronicled the raw aftermath of a breakup, IN FULL COLOUR! stands as a celebratory response grounded in hard-won joy. The record is produced by Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (Hozier, The Weeknd) and mixed and mastered by Jaycen Joshua (Beyoncé, SZA). It eschews artificial intelligence and digital sampling entirely. Every note on the album was laid down with real instruments, while the cover art was created by hand with scissors and glue to honour the tangible human touch.
“This album is intentionally optimistic,” Paloma explains. “In a world that can feel hopeless, this record is joy as a form of protest. Humanity can prevail.”
The lead single ‘Gone’ delivers soulful vibes from the 1960s and 1970s, combining a Motown heartbeat with a Northern Soul stomp. Its accompanying visualiser launches The Paloma Show, an 11-part visual album directed with Theo Adams, paying homage to the technicolour heyday of 1970s and 1980s British television, with Paloma embodying an entire cast of eccentric talk-show hosts and characters.
“‘Gone’ is about how isolating this line of work can be,” Paloma notes. “You can be on a stage in full sequins and wonder if anyone can truly see you, or even worse, if you can see yourself at all anymore.”
Fans will get to experience the new material live as Paloma embarks on a nationwide tour in October 2027, opening at Derby Vaillant Live on 1 October before heading to major venues including London’s Royal Albert Hall on 13 October, two nights at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, and wrapping up at Manchester’s O2 Apollo on 28 October. Artist pre-sale starts at 10am on Wednesday 18 November, ahead of general ticket sales at 10am on Friday 20 November.
