Hotly tipped and soon to be breakout artist Paloma Faith returns with her seductive sound and brand new single, the heartbreaking ballad “New York.” We’ve been rocking to Stone Cold Sobber since early Spring and it’s good to see a nice change of pace from Faith. This is a true tale of love gone bad and the effect of losing someone close to you. Yes we’ve all been there before but as long as we have beautiful tunes such as this, each day gets a little better. “Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful.” is in stores September 28th.
