Keeping The Faith


YE GODS it's been a long time since I posted (and the interval between posts just seems to get longer and longer...paper submissions at this time of year absolutely suck). But I'm back for now if anyone still cares, and Paloma Faith is a much, much more interesting topic of blog discussion than my boring life. It's not as if prettily retro-styled singers are entirely a novelty on the music scene * coughKatyannoyingPerrycough*, but the reason Ms Faith piques my interest, besides her admittedly fantastic dress sense (one cannot help but love the way she wears her stage clothes - with love and fun in equal measure- if you need proof, look no further than the pictures), is the fact that her music really is amazing, and that is not something I say lightly. I'm guessing a whole pile of UK people probably know who she is already, since one of her songs was apparently featured in a recent anti-alcohol campaign and she's been doing live shows for ages, but I do hope she gets an album out soon- this stuff (do watch the video at the end of the post) is awesome, and I want it on my iTunes.



PS: It's a little odd to realise she played an emo girl in the St Trinian's movie too...

Her style is amazing! I need to give her music a listen now too.

Hope you're well... was wondering when you would pop up! I love Paloma's dress sense better than her music...

I'm with susie on this one, her dress sense is electric but my feet are dancing to a different beat...
Glad to see you blogging again!

Sounds a bit like Winehouse, no?

How are these St Trinian's movies? Any good?

(And yes, Katy Perry is beyond annoying.)

I'm really sorry to reply so late...

The Clothes Horse: Her music is well worth a listen, IMO- I think she's only just signed a record deal, but it's quite good.

Susie: I've been a bit on-and-off these last few months- but I love both Paloma's clothes and her music, they're both fab to me.

Meg: I think I'm just in the mood for her kind of music over the last few months...but we are in agreement over our love of her dress sense :)

deep_in_vogue: I agree with you.

bobo: I've had some experience with fetishists...that just looks like the girl likes popcorn.

Han: Not every retro-style girl singer is Winehouse, but this one feels different- not as dark, maybe.

dmakeupartist: glad you do :)

Wendy: I haven't gone anywhere, never fear :)
