PALOMA FAITH
palomafaith.com
I got a chance to listen to Paloma Faith's sophomore album, Fall to Grace, today. I really like it, her voice reminds me of Taylor Dayne or Duffy. She has a soulful voice that people can't get enough of (see Adele, Amy Winehouse, or Emeli Sande for example). As of this writing, Fall to Grace was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.
I thought the title was pretty clever/funny. It's in reference to Lucifer falling from grace, but also a line taken from her song "Agony."
Generally the album is quite pop with some soul. My personal favorite is "Blood, Sweat & Tears", which has a bit of a pop song intro. The two singles ("Picking Up the Pieces" and "30 Minute Love Affair") have similar love/lost themes that comes across in many of her songs.
The review copy I received did not include the bonus INXS cover "Never Tear Us Apart", which kind of annoyed me because that song is also included on the US and reissue of Fall To Grace. You can watch the official music video for "Never Tear Us Apart" on YouTube.
As far as I know, she only did a tiny promotional tour in September with a David Letterman and a few local New York dates in December. This is what her tour itinerary looks like in 2013:
