Hackney-born 25-year-old singer Paloma Faith has been collecting critical acclaim throughout 2009, and it's easy to see why.

Paloma wrote her debut album in the UK, Sweden and America and recorded it entirely in London. The album features writing collaborations with Ed Harcourt, Jodi Marr (Mika), Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Kylie), Steve Robson (Take That) and Jorgen Elofsson. Epic. 2009.

◎如同Amy Winehouse以白人身分帶出濃烈靈魂聲線，影歌雙棲潮流新星首張專輯
◎回歸靈魂樂種本質，在近代流行派系中輕易揚起創新風貌、掌握精髓
◎第一波主打〈Stone Cold Sober〉，勾勒出細膩唯美之復古Funky節拍，登記英國金榜第17名位置；再接再厲的排行攻勢〈New York〉，已摘下英國Top21席次

　　有著一頭閃亮紅髮、頗具姿色的長相、以白人身分帶出濃烈黑人靈魂聲線的Paloma Faith，隨著音樂的一傾而洩，很難將目光從她身上移開，讓時光拉回屬於70年代的懷舊與美好，並享受到屬於現代派萬種風情的嬌柔美感，跨界呈現另一位實力歌姬。

　　就在嗓音如同受到酒精侵蝕的Amy Winehouse風潮持續發酵下，同擁西班牙血統，出生英國的Paloma，共通打造新世紀的潮流話題。年輕時期就不斷學習各類型舞蹈，為了一展長才，陸續在一些滑稽表演秀場、舞廳中演出，同時也在一些戲劇參上一角，2009年將於希斯萊傑遺世之作，接連柯林法洛、強尼戴普和裘德洛三位巨星頂力接棒的年度鉅片「帕納大師的魔幻冒險The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus」中，飾演Sally一角。起初只在表演藝術上下功夫的Paloma，沒想到如今更能以獨特嗓音立足歌壇，不但備妥鮮明個人特質，更是驚艷英倫歌壇且唱作俱佳的明日耀眼新星。

　　Paloma的首張耀眼大碟《Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?》，會讓人上癮般的反覆聆賞，用聲音演出一場場精緻戲碼。第一波主打〈Stone Cold Sober〉，包裹力度十足且濃濃Soulful線條，勾勒出細膩唯美之復古Funky節拍，登記英國金榜第17名位置；披上爵士與節奏藍調舞動彩衣的〈Smoke & Mirrors〉，瀰漫一身微醺感，隨著音樂不由自主擺動，散發無與倫比的迷人魔力；同名曲〈Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?〉，搭配管弦樂豐潤厚實的充足飽滿感陪襯，加上Paloma俐落的散射強勁聲頻穿透力，是支相當引人入勝的優質佳作；再接再厲的排行攻勢〈New York〉，像似一個強力磁鐵把你整個人吸引過去，全身被充滿暖意的靈魂韻腳包圍，已摘下英國Top21席次；完全走向討喜耐聽曲式的〈Stargazer〉、〈My Legs Are Weak〉等小品，一再替的Paloma處女秀加分。回歸靈魂樂種本質與溯源的中心概念，仍能在近代流行派系輕易揚起創新風貌、掌握精髓。
