A Perfect Contradiction





OK It's OFFICIAL.

I state this, as if I didn't know I was going to love 'A Perfect Contradiction'. Which is a lie. The truth is, I've been eagerly anticipating it's arrival for weeks, I can't stop singing the new songs out loud on the bus and ever since I heard the track previews on iTunes I have found literally any excuse to play them, along with 'Can't Rely on You' as much as possible over the reception speakers at work. It's safe to say I have definitely developed a huge music crush on 'A Perfect Contradiction'.

That was until I had listened to it in its entirety this evening. I can now officially say that this is no longer a crush I am experiencing, it's a full blown love affair - I am besotted. There really is something for everyone on this album; it's soulful, it's upbeat and it's the kind of the album that will brighten up your day, no matter if it's a Monday morning or pouring with rain outside. More than anything it just makes you want to get up and have a dance. I knew this album was going to be something extra special and I was not wrong. Paloma herself has never sounded better; you can see throughout just how much she really has grown as an artist and despite a lot of people's initial doubts about the new direction she confirmed she was heading in, it works beautifully.

As much as I loved and will always love 'Do you Want the Truth or Something Beautiful' and 'Fall to Grace'. I really feel that Paloma has outdone herself with this album. 'A Perfect Contradiction' is a complete gem, which will sparkle in your collection for years to come. It's an album which has the ability to make everyone sit up and take notice (plus have a dance). I don't even have to hesitate, when I confess without a doubt it will not be leaving my CD player for weeks. Congratulations Paloma - you've done it again.
