SHE may have been murdered on The Celebrity Traitors by best friend Alan Carr, but Paloma Faith is back and very much alive.
The singer has announced that her seventh studio album, In Full Colour, will drop on March 5 before she embarks on a huge UK tour.
The record is Paloma’s first since 2024’s The Glorification Of Sadness – an album all about the breakdown of her relationship with artist Leyman Lahcine, dad of her first two children.
While that record showed the singer at her most broken, she insists In Full Colour is her at her happiest.
Paloma, who appeared on last year’s Celebrity Traitors, said: “This album is intentionally optimistic. In a world that can feel hopeless, this album is joy as protest. Humanity can win.”
But self-doubt creeps into the lead single, Gone, which is out today and has a Seventies soul sound.
Paloma explained: “It is about how isolating this job can be.
“You can be on a stage in full sequins and wonder if anyone can really see you, or even worse, if you can see yourself at all any more.”
Paloma’s 18-date tour, which kicks off next October, includes shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall and Birmingham’s Symphony Hall.
