Album Of The Week: The Ninth Anniversary Of 'Fall To Grace' By Paloma Faith


Paloma Faith

Like the most irresistible and lavish period drama, Fall To Grace has it all; intrigue, suspense, melodrama, theatrics and plenty of broken hearts. Paloma Faith's second album, released on May 28th 2012, is a stunning follow up to her quite spectacular debut album, Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? In the years between Paloma's first two full length albums Faith drew on a rich seam of inspiration to bring about characterful story telling that would develop into the final 13 songs on the album.

Whilst Fall To Grace may not be Pride And Prejudice or Jane Eyre it does have as many interwoven topics and themes running through it. Love, loss, heartbreak, betrayal and anguish are all played out through the entire album. This may be Darcy in Diesel rather than jodhpurs, and the music maybe more basement bedsit blues than below stairs Baroque in Belgravia, but Fall To Grace is nevertheless a great piece of work.

Paloma Faith Speaks Out On Gender Inequality


Paloma Faith

Paloma Faith has hit out at the way that women in power are portrayed in the British media, defending the embattled prime minister Theresa May and saying she’s unfairly mocked because of her gender.

Faith is an outspoken feminist, and was promoting a new campaign for global gender equality on Thursday (October 11th) on the eve of the International Day of the Girl. She took the opportunity to defend the Tory PM from criticism of her rather rigid dance moves to the sound of Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ at last week’s party conference.

“Why shouldn’t Theresa May dance? I felt bad for her. I’m worried about her policies but I’m not worried about her dancing,” the singer told BBC News.

Paloma Faith - Bedgebury Pinetum, Kent 15.06.18 Live Review


The Forestry Commission's Forest Live series of ongoing open air concerts played host to the effervescent and vivacious Paloma Faith on Friday night. In the truly beautiful surroundings of Bedgebury Pinetum, not far from Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent, Paloma put on a dazzling show full of West-End pizzazz in front of a sell-out crowd.

Paloma Faith - Bedgebury Pinetum, Kent 15.06.18 Live Review

Having played the same venue three years ago, Paloma may have recognised the stunning setting for her latest return to the Kent and Sussex border, but, alas, she said: 'I don't know where I am.' Having had a rather busy time of it, where Paloma has not only appeared as a judge on 'The Voice' but released another number one album and, most importantly, had her first child in the interim, I think she can be forgiven.

The Hackney songstress brought her infectiousness to an eager crowd as she played out almost all of her latest album, 'The Architect', as well as a string of hits and favourites from her impressive back catalogue. Dressed in a technicolour dress that surpassed anything Joseph ever had to offer and in co-ordinating stiletto lace-up boots, Paloma looked resplendent as she took to the stage. With three backing singers adorned in white with reflective glasses like a sci-fi choir, and a whole host of musicians in matching jumpsuits on a stage set that wouldn't have looked out of place on a 70s 'Star Trek' episode, Paloma had certainly not gone down the low-key, understated route to entertain.

The 36-year-old singer has admitted she is a ''big sleeper'' and there have been times when she has been invited to a bash but has rejected the offer because she just wants to get an early night and cosy up at home.

The former 'The Voice UK' judge - who gave birth to her first child in December last year - told Stylist magazine: ''I've always been a big sleeper, but it's such a luxury to me now that even if someone asks me to go to an amazing event I don't because I actually prefer to go to bed.''
