Paris Paloma joins host Stephen Kallao

Paris Paloma knew “labour,” her song about gender-inequality, was connecting with people when fans started singing the bridge during her shows. On the World Cafe, Paris talks about why she wrote the song – the first she ever recorded in a professional studio, no less – and more about the inspirations behind her debut album, Cacophony.
