The two-minute hate – Paloma Faith

Paloma Faith - fudNot one to criticise, as you know, but by the name of all that is holy, what is this muck? Paloma Faith is described as “an ex magician’s assistant, trained contemporary dancer, St Martin’s alumni with an MA in theatre direction, a performer in burlesque show and dance club, and an actress, who recently added music into the mix.”

Which seems to be a long-winded way of saying “she’s an arsehole.”

Debut single ‘Stone Cold Sober’ was a vapid piece of Perryesque rubbish but inoffensive enough. This years Nerina Pallot. But her follow-up, the originally-titled ‘New York’ , plumbs depths which even Duffy would feel beneath her. Sounding like a twelve year old trying to mimic Amy Winehouse and Rihanna at the same time, she croons on about her fella leaving her ‘for another lady.’ No f*cking wonder love. The imminent sound of nuclear immolation sounds more attractive than your grating tones.

Anyway, judge for yourself. Needless to say that radio 2 have playlisted this, so expect La Roux levels of success before she hits the big screen. She’s an actress too, remember.

  2. She’s got a voice that would scare the ghosts out first.

  3. …..and I bet she can’t make a good pot of soup……

  4. Exactly. She nearly made me defy my moratorium on the c-word.

  5. Had to be from London didn’t she?

    Although that one from Blackpool’s not from London. She’s still keech though.

  6. This one couldn’t be more London if she was a vial of Chas and Dave’s spunk.

  7. And who is to say she’s not? Maybe that was her Final year art project?

    “Yeah…it’s called Margate, Death and Chas and Dave’s Spunk. The juxtoposition of the cockney seaside romp inherent in the lyrics to ‘Margate’ and the spunk of Chas….”

  8. Chas and Dave have split up. Good. Cockney wankers.

  9. They split up once before and I saw a poster in London for ‘Chas n Dave’ and in small letters at the bottom it said: “Featuring only Dave”

  10. That’s heartbreaking!

  11. “Rabbit” isn’t bad, mind……….good bassline.
