<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">London…August 13, 2012…</span></b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""> The highly-anticipated U.S. release of
<b>Paloma Faith’s</b> <b><u>Fall To Grace</u></b> is drawing near, and you know what that means…the first single is now hitting the airwaves! The song,
<span style="background:white">"<b>Picking Up The Pieces</b>,” reached Top 10 overseas,
</span>and will be available on iTunes this Tuesday, 8/14, at <b><a href="http://bit.ly/OWJc8u">http://bit.ly/OWJc8u</a></b>. Faith’s full album<span style="background:white"> entered #2 on the official UK charts, with
<i>Mojo</i> raving, </span>“</span><span style="color:black">(<b>Faith</b>) sings the bejesus out of these big, open-hearted
</span>tunes; warming you with melodramatic hooks and cleverly constructed pop-soul<span style="font-size:10.0pt">.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Already a platinum artist in the in the UK, the States are not used to being left-out. Then again, it all isn’t worth a hill of beans without talent. Well looks like the red-white-and-blue
has been doubly left-out, as critics throw around words like “faultless”, “epic”, and “magnificent” when referring to the saucy songbird. You might also read “eccentric” – polite for uncensored - as
<b>Faith</b> is hands-down hilarious.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Recorded with the help of producers Nellee Hooper (Madonna, Massive Attack, Bjork) and Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran),
<b>Faith</b> takes the reins on <b><u>Fall To Grace</u></b>, moving away from the reference points that characterized her early music – Etta James, Billie Holiday – and guiding her compositions into a new realm of intimacy.
<span style="background:white">The press is lauding the breakout performer and album, with
</span><i>The Sun</i> dubbing <b>Faith</b> “compellingly unique,” and <i>The Times</i> loving her “big, hook-laden pop tunes,” while the BBC hailed the single “<b>Picking Up The Pieces</b>” as
<span style="background:white">"a strident, string-laden mega-ballad.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">“My album has taken on a very cinematic mood. ‘<b>Picking Up The Pieces</b>’ is no exception,” says
<b>Paloma</b>. “It deals with the issues of being in a relationship with someone who is still recovering from a previous relationship with another person. It is a song about self doubt and insecurity.”<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">And buddy, this Hackney-born girl can sing. Backed by spectacular strings and gospel singers, lead single ‘<b>Picking Up The Pieces’</b> finds
<b>Faith</b> exploring the struggle of living with the shadow of a lover’s ex, and
<b>Faith’s</b> vocals offer bluesy power and reveal husky emotion.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">But where these songs truly come alive is on stage. It’s before an audience that every aspect of her vision is fully realized. “Performing her latest
material, <b>Faith</b> was faultless. As her smoky vocals bemoaned the sweet agonies of long-term love, the crowd were held in thrall,” states
<i>The Telegraph</i>. Now here’s your chance.<br>
