There is something so filmic about Paloma Faith's voice that whenever she sings it is easy to imagine her sitting atop a piano in a smoky bar and serenading the crowd. Though she has garnered comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Duffy, Paloma’s music is more alluring than the former and less one-dimensional than the latter.
Blair Mackichan, the man responsible for producing Lily Allen and Sia's UK debuts, also twiddled the knobs on Paloma's first album. Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? is modern pop once again looking to the past, but in a refreshing display of individuality Paloma chooses sophisticated jazz-tinged tunes over 80s pastiche.
