Reviews
The British singer, Paloma Faith, is possessed of a powerhouse voice and buckets of personality. Both were showcased memorably on her 2009 debut album, Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? and its 2012 successor, Fall to Grace.
A Perfect Contradiction is the album that should help her crack America. That would certainly appear to be the aim. The opening track and lead single, ‘Can’t Rely On You,’ was co-written and produced by Pharrell Williams, who collaborated on some of the biggest international hits of 2013, including ‘Blurred Lines’, for Robin Thicke, and ‘Lucky’, for Daft Punk. Williams does not disappoint: ‘Can’t Rely On You’ proves to be the perfect vehicle for Faith, a track on which she expresses with utter conviction her doubt in a lover’s fidelity.
