Paloma Faith reveals why Scotland is one of her FAVOURITE places to perform 🙌
She's on tour soon!
Last updated 26th Feb 2024
Paloma Faith joined Boogie and Arlene on Saturday (24th February), to talk about her new album 'The Glorification of Sadness', and her upcoming tour, where she will be performing two dates in Scotland, as well as several across the UK.
Speaking on Tay FM, Paloma revealed that she loves performing in Scotland, because it's one of her favourite places. She explained: "I am particularly (looking forward to performing) in Scotland.
"It's always one of my favourite places to play because people actually know how to enjoy life in Scotland. I wish they could teach other people further South."
The singer, who will be in Glasgow and Dunfermline in April and May, went on to reveal that she was surprised she was allowed to smash up the bus stop at the Royal Variety Performance.
"I thought that was impressive, that they let me smash up a bus stop in front of the Royal family," she explained. "When I put the idea forward, I was like oh it's been approved, I was like oh great, how modern!"
The theme behind 'The Glorification of Sadness'
The singer's latest album is inspired by her break-up from her partner of ten years, and father of her two children, who feature in one of her songs.
The singer explained: "I also think what it is. It's like you listen to these kind of broken hearts songs and everyone in them is always a victim. So I've been trying to buy an album that doesn't sound as 'victimy' and it's a realistic account of like the stages of grief, and it isn't harking to like the normal cut and runs of youth, because it's like, it was a decade-long relationship that involved two children."
She continued: "And I'm quite sort of open about that like there are songs that reference my kids. My kids’ voices are in it as well. It’s more reflective I think that the typical break-up, where people are like ‘yeah, I dumped him’, ‘we’re not together anymore’.
"It’s a bit different to that, it’s like, this is really serious and I feel highly responsible and shamed and fallible and all of these things, but it's also saying it takes two people to start a relationship and two people to end it. So, you know, it's both of our doing."
Paloma's album 'The Glorification of Sadness' is out now and you can hear songs by Paloma Faith on Tay FM.
