Today's artist is not only a phenomenal singer, she's also one of my biggest style influences as well as an overall awesome person! Paloma Faith is a singer-songwriter from England. Influenced by the likes of Billie Holiday and Etta James, her music is a good mix of soul, jazz, RnB, and pop. She studied contemporary dance and theater directing in school and it definitely comes through in her music, videos and live performances.
And as far as her style, well I think I'm going to write a different post just about that because I could go on for ages(and it would be a hundred pictures haha)! I want to jump right into some videos because you've just got to watch her! You can listen to her first 2 albums here on Spotify.
This is the video for her first single, Stone Cold Sober. A great intro to what Paloma is all about I think lol.
This next one is for her single Smoke & Mirrors. What's funny about this video is that she actually worked as a magicians assistant while she was in school.
(I want every single outfit in this video)
Another fun video with great outfits(really, I want her entire wardrobe!). I love the contrast of the colors in the video. This one's called Upside Down.
Paloma is another artist that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing live. To my knowledge she's never done a full US tour but I sure hope that changes soon! If you've liked what you've seen/heard, definitely go YouTube more of her videos. I didn't want to make this post too long, but she has tons of other great ones. These are just some from her first album! They get even better!
Happy Listening!
How do you like Paloma Faith?
