Bowie 4 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Eccentric UK singer Paloma Faith, one of the most exciting & unique artists to come out of the British music industry in the 2000s, embarks on an international concert tour this month ahead of the re-release of her massive third studio album "A Perfect Contradiction" on November 10th, 2014. Welcome to the official Paloma Faith thread! If you're a fan, or want to find out more, you've come to the right place. Paloma's music has been featured in advertisements extensively, so you may be more familiar with her than you think, and, on top of her massive solo success, she has achieved her first UK #1 as vocalist on "Changing", the new single by UK dance duo Sigma. One of the most unique artists of the 21st century, Paloma's authentic retro style is instantly recognisable, and she is one of the biggest names in the industry here in Britain. Are you attending any of Paloma's shows, including the recently announced UK arena tour? Have you seen her before at all? Check out all the tour dates for 2014/5, in North America, Europe, and Australia, here. You can watch clips from her intimate US tour right here, in the thread.

She is! After her concert at Royal Albert Hall, she came back on stage personally to thank every single person on stage with her, then starting saying all the stuff she couldn't say on camera for BBC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie 4 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 PALOMA!!!!!! Massive fan, going to her show on November 5 in Manchester. Paloma is one of the only real artists in the UK scene, in my opinion. I've seen her twice now with the Guy Barker Orchestra, this coming autumn will be the first time I've seen her in a concert hall/theatre with just her band. Hopefully I can afford tickets for the O2 show in March Yassssss Paloma! I'm going to her NYC show this month! Can't wait - I hope she finds success stateside! As do I It's so hard for 'different' British artists to 'break America'. Hopefully if the Sigma collaboration takes off a bit across the pond she'll gain some more exposure!

Going ap in t'wald, incha Paloma! (translation for non-Cockneys: Going up in the world, aren't you Paloma?) Cockney slaying I'm so proud of her oh my god I'll be honest, I was a little concerned about her going down the overly-commercial route, but some of Ahlund's work is so awesome, especially with Robyn and MIKA on his new single "Boum Boum Boum". So I'm hoping for amazing things Changing is only number 1 on iTunes it might not get number one on sunday... But yeah I LOVE Paloma :D When's the new single out? Mmm, it's been on Spotify for ages, but radio have been picking it up, I've heard it non-stop on London radio stations like Capital FM and Kiss 100. Still no word on the new single. The album is out November 3rd in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
