Gotta have Faith, Faith, Faith, bay-bee

○○○○●

I HAVE a sneaking suspicion that Paloma Faith, whose album Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? is looming, is actually a music industry-created cyborg.
She sings a bit like Duffy, she's got cool hip hop beats and brass like Amy Winehouse, she's as energetic as Alesha Dixon, has a dress sense to rival Lady Gaga and even got hair like Elly Jackson from La Roux on her album cover.
And she's got some great songs as well, like opener Stone Cold Sober.
There is a mechanical feel to some of the album, like she's got a pop song production line going on, but nevertheless, Faith has crafted an album to rival her rivals'.
