INVITE: DO THIS! Better yourself. Paloma Faith sings for YOU!

[Jennie Boddy]

COME SEE Paloma Faith! Tuesday! She's got a big set of pipes and a big personality like Eddie / Patsy from Ab Fab rolled into one. Get to know her NOW:  her debut comes November and she just kills it. I want you to see her so bad; I can't describe the torch in her songs you must see her! She also just ran with the Olympic Torch because she has a #2 album and is a hot mess celeb in the UK - she did it in stilettos. Either way let me know please - it is Tuesday, August 7 at 7, at the gorgeous Edison Ballroom.  Until then, a little taste: http://youtu.be/kR_DMYuoriY, more info in the bullets below...

"Performing her latest material, Faith was faultless. As her smoky vocals bemoaned the sweet agonies of long-term love in Just Be, the crowd were held in thrall."

"Whether perched atop a miniature  keyboard, draped across a grand piano as if in the movie The fabulous Baker Boys, or stalking the lip of the drum riser,

She was a dynamic and watchable presence as she sang in a voice as sultry as the July weather was not."

"Faith offers a more modern take on the Brit Blue-eyed soul of Adele and Amy Winehouse."

"On Fall To Grace Faith retains theatrical flourishes, but she has evolved into a writer of songs with real emotional weight."

"Fall to Grace, a soulful 12-song music diary that runs the gamut from 'big and belty' orchestral anthems to stark, heart rending musical stories."

"(Faith) sings the bejesus out of these big, open-hearted tunes; you warm to the melodramatic hooks and the cleverly constructed pop-soul."

"The singer commanded a dreamy atmosphere...her entertaining interjections between tracks made the performance all the more personal."

London, UK (July 25, 2012)...Singer Paloma Faith strutted a leg Saturday as she was honored to run with the 2012 Olympic torch through East London. In sky-high scarlett stilettos with her red hair sky-high to boot, Paloma surprised many in the crowd as she proudly represented the gold in glamour. Faith's fans have come to expect this type of unique dedication, however, noting Faith also customized the official Olympic torchbearer tracksuit into a crop top and pedal pushers.
Truly Paloma Faith just shows us how it's done: With her new album debuting at the top of the UK charts to critical acclaim, two ecstatic sold-out concerts at the Somerset House last week, and an album about to hit America for the first time the end of this year, Faith's torch-bearing privilege coincidentally made for a special birthday treat for the Hackney-born singing phenom. Faith wrote on Twitter: "Thank you all for your birthday wishes today! I'm going to carry the Olympic torch today. Biggest candle I've ever blown out!"

Poser: The chart-maker shares a picture before setting off

While Paloma made the trek in her heels without a misstep, the UK press is falling all over themselves praising Fall To Grace. Mojo raves, "she sings the bejesus out of these big, open-hearted tunes;" The Sun dubs Faith "compellingly unique;" and The Times praises her "big, hook-laden pop tunes." Produced by Nellee Hooper (Bjork, No Doubt, Massive Attack, Madonna) along with Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran), Fall To Grace is full of Faith's bluesy power and husky emotion and will mark Paloma Faith's first official US release when the album is out on Epic Records in November 2012. Until then, hear "30 Minute Love Affair" HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A-BO1PAEdU>.


Faith joined the first day of London celebrations that began with Olympics gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci holding the torch aloft. The Flame is passed from one Torchbearer to another, spreading the message of peace, unity and friendship. It ends its journey as the last Torchbearer lights the cauldron at the Olympic Games in the Olympic Stadium, marking the official start of the Games.
