PALOMA FAITH goes back to her soul roots with
the release of her brand new single Can’t Rely
On You.
The single was written for Paloma by Pharrell
Williams who also produced the track and
appears on it as backing vocalist and singer of
the impassioned line ‘I don’t know what this
world is coming to’.
The pair met when Paloma attended the Met
Ball at New York’s Metropolitan Museum and
Pharrell approached her by singing her song
New York to her. He then took her ‘phone, put
his number in and said ‘I’m ready to work’. She
texted him whilst still at the ball to check if he
was serious, he texted back to confirm that he
was, and the pair recorded the track in Miami.
The song is the first to appear from Paloma’s
forthcoming album “A Perfect Contradiction”
which, like the single, shows a distinct return to
her early soul-girl roots.
Influences as diverse as classic Stax, Phil
Spector, 1960’s girl groups, ‘70’s disco and early
1980’s soul come together on an album that is
the most upbeat Paloma has ever made. ∎
Released on 23rd Feb on RCA Records

Sheehan (Mary J Blige, Rita Ora,
Beyoncé).
