Building Of Life Blocks

As she prepares for a gig in Delamere Forest, Paloma Faith talks about the challenges of parenthood and why her new album scales the heights

- Paloma Faith

BECOMING a parent is just about the biggest event in anyone’s life. For Paloma Faith, the experience of being a new mum may have left her wondering where her next night’s sleep might ever be coming from, yet it’s brought a renewed sense of purpose and focus to her music. ‘I’m trying to juggle being a mother and a singer. I have no idea how I am managing, but I am somehow,’ she laughs, recounting her whirlwind existence recording her fourth studio album.

The 36-year-old has amassed an enviable career over the past decade that has seen her become the only female artist beyond Adele to have three double platinum recordings to her name. While it’s been a road requiring plenty of hard graft, her artfully soulful sound and quirky style have undoubtedly played their part in propelling her to stardom.
