Overview
The captivating Paloma Faith is the latest act to announce that she will be performing concerts in seven spectacular woodland locations this summer as part of the Forestry Commission's Forest Live concert series.
Released in 2009, debut album, 'Do You Want the Truth, or Something Beautiful?' introduced Paloma Faith and a glossy ensemble of retro-referencing soul and sassy pop songs. From the brass-blasted stomp of 'Stone Cold Sober' to the quirky 'Upside Down', and the epic sweep of her biggest chart hit 'New York', the record went on to sell over half a million copies.
Faith's 2012 sophomore album, 'Fall To Grace', continues to build upon the success of her debut release. A collection of compositions in a new contemporary realm, chart success has already been assured with singles 'Picking Up the Pieces', '30 Minute Love Affair', 'Just Be' and her enchanting cover of 'Never Tear Us Apart'. Her achievements have been recognised by the music industry with Brit Award nominations. Her platinum selling album 'Fall To Grace' is up for Best Album, and she has also been nominated for Best British Female.
Commenting on her Forest Live dates and her Brit nominations, Paloma Faith said, "I'm really excited about these shows. It's going to be a great experience so I hope you will be able to join me on my woodland adventure this summer. I am delighted to have been nominated for these Brit awards. I don't expect to win, but it's so wonderful to be acknowledged for contributing something to British music. I am very proud to be British and so happy to do something I love."
