Paloma Faith

So on a whim I bought this album. I had heard good things and was curious as I am totally into this soul rival, even though it is very white in the mainstream.

I loved the album. Great pop tracks with a 60’s soul and rockabilly sound to them. Her voice is a mixture of Amy Winehouse and Gabriela Climi.

Paloma is half British half Spanish and grew up not far from where I work in London.
She was a burlesque dancer, and began singing just to imitate her blues and soul idols. Eventually she found her own voice.

She has also lent her voice to the new Basement Jaxx album. I highly recommend giving the album as a whole a listen to. Songs like ‘New York’, ‘Play On’ and ‘Upside Down’ are just fantastic slices of genre hopping pop.

By her album ‘Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?” now

I'll be the late night lady you won't recognize,
I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise
I'd read your future but it's written in the past,
Take a good look might be your last

Don't try to show me, cause you don't know me,
Stay away!!

I can be wilder than the wind,
119 miles an hour,
I'm in a whole other dimension,
Dancing doubles on the floor,
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy,
But I'm stone cold sober

You're telling me something
But there's nothing cheap as words
I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
Excuse me Mr I've got other things to do
Than to stand here listening to you

Stop talking at my face
Take a rocket out to space and ..
Stay away!!

I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension,
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold ..
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension,
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober

In the madness of the storm,
I'm the one to carry on,
I don't need no medicine,
If you're looking for a cure,
Don't be knocking at my door,
I'll never let you in
Take a rocket out to space
And stay out of my place

I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension,
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold ..
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension,
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober
