Paloma Ford Announces ‘X Tapes’ EP | New ‘Nights I Cry’ Visual

Paloma Ford has announced August 7th as the official release date for her highly anticipated, new EP “X Tapes.”

“Being an R&B artist in today’s climate you feel the pressure to switch up your sound to make it fit the market. But X Tapes was all about staying true to myself. I try to keep it as raw as possible. You’re going to feel those familiar R&B influences that inspire me, as well as fresh sounds and tempos that are Paloma Ford.”

Born in Los Angeles, Paloma Ford a is singer, songwriter, designer and mother exemplifies the feminine ideal from multiple angles. On the microphone, her sultry and soulful delivery consistently captivates listeners, while her relatable stories of love, passion and heartbreak keep us coming back for more. It should be no surprise Paloma cites her primary influences as Aaliyah, Sade and Janet Jackson, as she also bends R&B to fit and express her individual style.

“X Tapes” is heralded by the heartfelt R&B ballad “Nights I Cry,” and the accompanying official visual.

In 2006, she serendipitous met Macy Gray before a House of Blues gig. As it turned out, a background singer fell ill, so Macy asked Paloma to step in. Numerous live performances followed as Paloma also contributed vocals to three tracks from the star’s 2007 release “Big,” joining an esteemed cast of collaborators such as Justin Timberlake and will.i.am.

She appeared alongside Fabolous and Davo on “Connection” from Tory Lanez’s chart-topping Memories Don’t Die in 2018.
