Paris Adams – Stupid With U

Described by the Evening Standard as “an exciting British talent”, Paris Adams, founder member, lead vocalist and main songwriter of The Adelaides, is justifying such high praise with the release of her single ‘Stupid With U’ through Demon on 16 June 202. ‘Stupid With U’ was recorded in Nashville with Grammy winning producer Femke Weidema.

In 2023, Paris has already performed a slot of on each of the three days of the prestigious C2C Festival at the O2 in March. She has previously performed at the event with The Adelaides, in fact she also appeared on all three days in both 2018 and 2019! This year, she recorded a session for Holler over the C2C weekend, including a live version of ‘Stupid With U’, which can be seen here. Her music is no stranger either to the BBC Radio 2’s Playlist, The Adelaides’ track single ‘Good Love’ was heavily supported, and they also performed live sessions for the Bob Harris and Michael Ball shows.

I have spent a year writing, in Nashville and in the UK, and I am so proud of the results. This new material is my best yet and I cannot wait for people to hear it.

Whilst Paris made her live debut as a solo artist on the Caitlyn Smith tour of October 2022, she is a seasoned performer. The Adelaides played at British Summertime in London’s Hyde Park two years running as support to Michael Bublé (2018) and Celine Dion (2019). The Adelaides, who sadly fell victim to the enforced hiatus over Covid, had even received an unprecedented invitation to perform a repeat slot at CMA Fest in Nashville in 2020; having already appeared in 2019. The offer from Country’s biggest worldwide showcase came after the band had established a following with a series of special guest appearances with the likes of Charles Esten, who personally requested them to perform with him on two major British tours including a sell-out date at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Paris has also featured on tours with Kiefer Sutherland, Catherine McGrath, Ashley Campbell & Mo Pitney, Andy Brown and Key West. Festival appearances include Ramblin’ Man, Cornbury, Nashville Meets London, Black Deer and the Long Road Festival.

This new single is continued evidence of the emergence of a major new solo artist in the international Country scene, as her C2C appearances attest. Building on what is already an incredible track record for such a young artist, this single is just the first sign of what is yet to come. ‘Stupid With U’, despite the title, is another piece of intelligent and engaging Country from rising star Paris Adams.
