How do you follow up a cover? Well, if your Paloma Faith, it’s to release a song in a similar sound.
Just Be is just a simple piano and vocal performance. And sometimes simple works. Not having an over produced track means we get to appreciate Faith’s impressive vocal skills, from the quietly spoken to the raging crescendo.
Lovely little track from her. Not one to be missed.

The John Lewis ads in recent years have featured cover versions of songs in their adverts either by known or in some cases, unknown artists. The latest act to sing on one of their ads is Paloma Faith with a cover version of the INXS song Never Tear Us Apart.
To be fair, it’s not bad version of it. She has managed to stick to the original but at the same time, put her own stamp on it and brought it to a new generation. She has the right sounding vocals for it, dark but still able to bring a little light into it. But let’s be honest, the best version does have to be the original, right?
Nice little cover number from Paloma but fear we might be sick of it after hearing it a number of times on the ad.

This is the second single to be taken from Paloma’s album Fall From Grace
To be honest, after giving us the brilliant track Picking Up The Pieces, we’re now on the other end of the scale with a rather slow ballad by the name of 30 Minute Love Affair. To be honest,we struggled to listen to this all the ay through. We found the vocals a little whiney and and nothing really to keep us listening as it doesn’t really seem to go anywhere.
Sadly we can even bare to have a 3 minute love affair with this track, never mind a 30 minute one.

We can’t remember the last time we heard anything from Paloma Faith but now she’s back with her new tune, Picking Up The Pieces.
The track is what we can only describe as a quick paced ballad. It’s a nice balance between vocals and music, each complementing the other. Vocally the song flows up and down with some great held notes, full of vibrant colours. Song seems to follow what is on trend at the moment in the tracks whilst maintaining what make her her.
