The good the bad and the meh...

The good news is that Paloma Faith has released the cover art for her second album, Fall To Grace, and its completely stunning. If there were BRIT awards for best album covers, Paloma should win a lifetime achievement award ALREADY because this is her second mindblowingly beautiful piece of cover art in a row. Music-wise, we're not that excited, her first album was ok: a meld of the sort of anodynely burlesque stuff we'd expect Dita Von Teese to release if she got a record deal and the occasional heart-strings-tugger ("New York" mainly). It was kind of too glossy and in love with its own production style though. Lots to marvel at, not much to love.

We have a feeling this will be a similar affair, actually. Below is "Picking Up The Pieces", the debut single, and whilst, again, it's nice enough and theoretically totally up our street, we completely forgot it existed afterwards and didn't even make it all the way through before something on the internet distracted us. Sad but true. Maybe it'll do more for you, though.

  1. I agree that the album cover is exceptionally aesthetically pleasing and it has a lovely name but I'm so indifferent about her music. I could hardly hear her voice over the production!
    Oh & btw, your blog is amazing! We share a love of Goddess RiRi & Minaj :) x
