Fall To Grace (CD)
Paloma Faith
Amoeba Review
12/03/2012
Paloma Faith creates delectable electro-soul on Fall to Grace. Though she goes full-on orchestral pop on “Picking Up the Pieces,” more often she’s singing about “people using chat rooms as confessionals” on “Black & Blue” or coming off like Adele singing over a Yaz record on the new-wave flavored “30 Minute Love Affair.” You’ve got the requisite piano weepies on Fall to Grace, but the record works because it doesn’t try too hard to ape the success of fellow Brits Adele or the late Amy Winehouse (though her voice approximates the latter on “Let Me Down Easy”). Instead, Faith and her producers (Nellee Hooper of Bjork and Gwen Stefani fame) posit her as a more contemporary pop singer to her some of her counterparts, while still maintaining the spirit of an old-school diva. Listeners who like their pop both modern and soulful, take note.
