Paloma Faith today announces her seventh studio album, ‘IN FULL COLOUR!’, released via RCA on Friday 5 March 2027. The first single, ‘Gone’, is out now. She tours the UK in October 2027, with 18 dates including Bradford Live on Saturday 23 October 2027.
Her last album, ‘The Glorification of Sadness’, went straight through the middle of a break-up and didn’t look away. ‘IN FULL COLOUR!’ is the counter-punch: a record about joy, made by someone who knows exactly what it costs and has decided it’s worth having anyway. Paloma is now unapologetically spreading her creative wings in all their fallible glory with an album and campaign that is intended to lift us at a time where we feel lacking in hope – and taken over by AI. There is no AI on ‘IN FULL COLOUR!’ and no sampled sounds: every note was played on a real instrument. Even the artwork was made by hand, with scissors and glue… this is a body of work brimming with human touch.
The album was produced by Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (Victoria Monét, Hozier, The Weeknd) and mixed and mastered by Jaycen Joshua (Beyoncé, Rihanna, SZA, Rosalía, Mary J. Blige, Justin Bieber).
Discussing the record Paloma said:
“This album is intentionally optimistic,” says Paloma. “In a world that can feel hopeless, this album is joy as protest. Humanity can win.”
‘Gone’ is the first taste of that record: sixties and seventies soul with a Motown heartbeat, a Northern Soul stomp and Paloma’s voice at full stretch. Like the rest of the album, it was produced by Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman.
The visualiser for ‘Gone’ opens The Paloma Show, an 11-part visual album made with creative director Theo Adams to accompany the record. It is a celebration of the heyday of British television in the seventies and eighties, when everything seemed to come in technicolour and the possibilities seemed endless. Paloma nostalgically looks back on a world of talk shows (think Parkinson, if Parkinson wore sequins), psychic phone-ins, game shows and weather presenters with icon status. In ‘Gone’, Paloma plays a singer who leaves her own body, only to be ignored by a cast of characters, every one of them played by her.
“‘Gone’ is about how isolating this job can be,” says Paloma. “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 anymore”
