के बारे मेंPaloma Faith (born Paloma Faith Blomfield; 21 July 1981) is a British singer-songwriter and actress. In 2009, she released her debut single "Stone Cold Sober", then her debut album, Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?, which was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. Her debut album stayed within the top 40 album charts for over forty weeks. The album has spawned five singles: "Stone Cold Sober", "New York", title track "Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?", "Upside Down" and "Smoke & Mirrors". Faith has also recorded the theme song to the 2010 British film 4.3.2.1 and appeared on the charity record, "I Put a Spell on You". Faith made her feature film debut in the 2007 remake of St Trinian's. She has since appeared in two more feature films, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Dread. In March 2010, Faith revealed that she is working on a second album.

Early life

Faith was born in Hackney, London to a Spanish father and an English mother who split up when Faith was two years old.[2] Faith was raised by her mother in Stoke Newington.[3] As a child, Faith was encouraged to dance by her mother and she took weekly ballet classes in Dalston.[2]
After completing her A-Levels, Faith went on to study for a degree in contemporary dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance,[4] which Faith describes as "the worst experience of [her] life".[2] Faith then went on to study for an MA in theatre directing at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design,[5] funding her studies by working various part-time jobs, which included; a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model and a magician's assistant.[3][5]

Music career

Faith's first foray into music began when she mimicked famous soul and jazz singers including Etta James and Billie Holiday, whom she admired and cites as influences for her own work.[3][6]
During her time at college, Faith worked in a pub where the manager asked her to front his band, which they later called 'Paloma and the Penetrators'.[2] During a performance with the band at a cabaret show, Faith was scouted by an A&R man from Epic Records, who invited Faith to sing for the manager of the label.[2] Twenty minutes into the audition, Faith asked the manager to turn his phone off and when he refused, she walked out.[2] Epic A&R Joanna Charrington told HitQuarters "When she played a showcase for us it was clear that she was a star but the material was a bit generic. She didn't have the hit songs."[7] Not being one hundred percent convinced the label executives decided to wait. During this time Charrington regularly checked Faith's Myspace page "to see if she had something that had a special direction or sound."[7] After several months her attention was eventually piqued by "Broken Doll", which she thought was a well-crafted song with a "fantastic chorus and brilliant lyrics."[7] Charrington told Epic managing director Nick Raphael "I think we should get this girl back in. She sounds like she is getting it now. We can help her get the songs."[7] Faith revealed in an interview that the manager called her and offered her a contract saying he had seen many acts since and none had been as memorable as her.[2] Faith turned down an opportunity to join Amy Winehouse's band and she began to write and perform her own songs.[8]
Faith's first recognised work was the song "It's Christmas (And I Hate You)", which she recorded as a duet with singer-songwriter, Josh Weller in 2008.[9]

Faith performing at T4 Stars of 2009

The Times gave it five stars and said "Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Paloma Faith delivered both in a show that was full of theatrical artifice, but based on the rock-solid foundation of her sensational singing voice and a personality that sparkled like a rough diamond".[23]

In June 2009, she performed a live set for the BBC's Radio 2 Introduces... and gave an interview to the station's host, Dermot O'Leary.[25] Faith performed at numerous festivals throughout that summer, including T4 on the Beach. A song by Faith entitled "I Just Wait", was used as the backing track for a UK television alcohol awareness advert.[26] Her single "Stone Cold Sober" was used as the backing track for a 2009 Rimmel commercial starring Lily Cole.[5] Her song "Technicolour" was featured in Samsung's Corby mobile phone TV commercial. In November 2009, Faith became involved in an album artwork competition with BBC Blast, in which teenagers won the chance to work alongside leading artists, photographers and music industry professionals to create new Paloma Faith publicity artwork.[27]
During an interview in March 2010, Faith revealed that she is working on a second album.[28] She added that if she continues to make losses for her record label they will drop her.[28] Faith, along with Adam Deacon and Bashy, recorded the theme song to the 2010 British film 4.3.2.1. The track, titled "Keep Moving", was released on 28 May 2010.[29] In June 2010, it was announced that Faith would re-release an updated version of "New York" featuring rapper Ghostface Killah.[30] The single was released on 1 August 2010.[30] Faith released a live EP album following an appearance at the 2010 iTunes Festival.
