The opening track, at the same time first single, "Picking Up The Pieces" is the perfect introduction and set the bar very high on. Passionate and full of strength she sings the role of the lyrical ego in this sad situation as "just-pick-up the pieces" of broken love. What is yet to come for such a blast? Quite simply: Eleven more blast!
Paloma Faith can gloomy and rough (Let Me Down Easy), and impresses by an equally strong authenticity as in quiet ballad moments (Black & Blue - the chorus is amazing!). Interestingly, it is also the trendy disco sound of "Blood Sweat & Tears", without seeming contrived at any time. Paloma Faith needs - similar to their fellow Adele or Amy MacDonald 'no musical Trendzug to which they must jump in order to be heard can. After repeated listening to "Fall To Grace" reveals that the energetic get given most of presence (UP-tempo) ballads like "When You're Gone" or "Agony". This situation is familiar to connoisseurs of the previous album.
"Freedom" is one on the second album for the songs, brimming with strength, confidence and joie de vivre. You will instinctively grab the beautifully designed booklet, start browsing its pages and want to sing along.
But in exactly these songs it shows its full brilliance. "Streets Of Glory", the completion of the standard album burns the audience literally in the ear canals. Very good (so far at such a consistently great album possible) but is "Just Be". Accompanied by a piano can Paloma Faith show the full range of their skills. Her voice is the ultimate tool 'without booming beats and with a great text equipped, it binds the listener for the time of her singing completely se. Then when a short hissed "Shhh" through the speakers, I was completely out-and-off. The Paloma Faith in such songs no bland blah of can, but texts sings and portrays living conditions affecting the heart, is another aspect that makes "Fall To Grace" so outstanding.
In general, the lyrics are profound, ambiguous and talk from everyone's / -fraus soul. They will find themselves in their texts. Many had surely been to the situation that one is in love / crush on a good friend, a good friend, but had to help him through the pain of separation or heartbreak with a / another time. Yes? Then "Picking Up The Pieces" is ideal for you when it comes to singing along.
Friends good music opt for the deluxe edition with second CD, on which five selected pieces are acoustic versions. This shows once again that a Paloma Faith must ascend no musical gun to show their message and their skills. Her voice is blessed and listening is a delight. Point.
