    Artistically, she's still coming into her own.

    She sings the bejesus out of these big, open-hearted tunes, and despite some lyrics having a slightly gauche quality, you soon warm to the melodramatic hooks of Agony and the cleverly constructed pop-soul nugget Beauty Of The End. [Jun 2012, p.82]

    Few could deny her vocal talents but you can't help but feel the character that made her stand out in a crowded pop room has been diluted somewhere along the line.

    Even Faith's super-powerful voice never elevates the material above the decidedly everyday. [Jul 2012, p.100]

    The material, featuring production by U.K. soul vet Nellee Hooper (Soul II Soul), could be more memorable.

    It is undeniably a step down from her excellent 2009 release, with too little suiting such a distinctive artist.

    The results evoke the fellowship of the emotionally bruised in a variety of ways.

    There's such a belt-and-braces approach that the array of sounds (strings, choirs, tubular bells, beats and synths, dubby blurbs and squeaks) can come across as overbearing.

    The music--lots of nondescript ballads, a splash of contemporary disco--is no less banal [as headlines from the Daily Mail].

    There are millions of recording artists around the world. Unfortunately, the crown jewels of musical talent are sometimes hidden away from usThere are millions of recording artists around the world. Unfortunately, the crown jewels of musical talent are sometimes hidden away from us or neglected. This is the case of Paloma Faith.

    What initially attracted me to buy her album "Fall To Grace" was, in fact, her name. It seemed so mysterious in a good way. After listening to the album, I thanked my curiosity so much.

    "Fall To Grace" is full of powerhouse songs, showcasing the unique voice of Ms.Faith. Songs range from spine-tingling piano ballads such as "Just Be" to epic heart racing compositions such as "Blood, Sweat and Tears".

    If you truly appreciate British pop music or you're in love with soul blended with modern pop, "Fall To Grace" is the album for you! It is truly emotional and it's like living in a really vivid dream.

    Best songs (according to moi): "Streets of Glory", "Just Be", "Picking Up The Pieces", "Blood,Sweat and Tears".
    Most Original (according to moi): "Let Me Down Easy".    … Full Review »
