Artist: Paloma Faith
Album: Fall to Grace
I missed British-born singer-songwriter Paloma Faith's debut album, 2009's "Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?," which spawned five singles and established Faith as a rising star in her home country and through Europe. Missed all that. But, she's returned with a sophomore set entitled "Fall to Grace," which has given her her best charting single yet, first track "Picking Up the Pieces."
"Fall to Grace" is cinematic-leaning behemoth of sweeping strings, synths, piano, soulful vibes, and story-song lyrics. It's a little too dramatic, but it's not without its charms. I have quite warmed up to the single, as well as the second track, "30 Minute Love Affair." I'm still listening, and may l o v e it in months time.
Faith has been getting involved with some acting, evident in the video for the single. (see below) And again, "Fall to Grace" has a sweeping grandness that's born from the movies. It might be too much for you, or it could be a revelation. You decide.
Enjoy.
