The architect Deluxe edition incl. 4 bonus tracks (2017)

"Paloma Faith rose to prominence in the United Kingdom in the mad rush to find the next Amy Winehouse, but somehow the quirky Faith didnt translate as well as Adele and Emeli Sandé. Her 4th album, The Architect should fix that. The charming first single, Crybaby, is a breezy bit of Brit-soul that channels Estelles American Boy while advocating emotional release. Her collaboration with John Legend Ill Be Gentle harks back to classic soul duets from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, as a gospel choir amplifies her message of offering kindness in the face of cruelty. Throughout The Architect, Faith uses catchy melodies and her powerful, distinctive voice to push forward an infectious sense of positivity, whether its the disco throwback Til Im Done or the Sia-written anthem Warrior. She also drops in bits of dialogue, from Samuel L. Jackson and author Owen Jones, to explain some of her ideas. With "The Architect", Paloma Faith will no longer be overlooked."
