Fabiana Palladino is an enigmatic London-based singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose yearning, slightly left-of-center tunes bring to mind influences such as Kate Bush and Prince, as well as more stripped-down interpretations of grandiose '80s synth pop ballads. 2017's "Waiting" marked her debut for Jai Paul's Paul Institute. Though infrequently released, her following singles over the next few years were marked with a sense of occasion. In 2023, she and label head Jai Paul teamed up for "I Care," a duet that previewed Palladino's self-titled full-length debut, released the following year through Paul Institute and XL Recordings.
