Paloma Faith: Twitter Q&A Session.

 

Paloma recently took part in a Twitter Q&A. As with previous sessions it proved to be very popular with fans. Below you can see the questions that Paloma answered. 

What inspired you to write your new single 'Ready for the Good Life'?

'Ready for the Good Life' is about being fed up of everything being difficult and being ready for things to lighten up a bit. 

Does Diane Warren have any plans of making a song for you again? 

There's another Diane song on the new repack out on 10th November. 

Are you planning to release a music video for 'Ready for the Good Life'? 

There is a video being made right now for 'Ready for the Good Life' yes.  

Do you like Jessica Lange? 

I love her so much I want to be like her. She's more beautiful the older she gets! 

What are you doing for Halloween? 

We have a gig in Hull on tour that night, so we are calling it Hulloween. 

What's your favourite lyric from 'A Perfect Contradiction'? 

'We haven't said it but I know it, so hold me one last time before you go. You gave me so much to remember it was just the not knowing that hurt the most'.

What was it like recording a song with Shirley Bassey?

Amazing! She is kind and charismatic and a legend. I can only dream of being that amazing.

What was the idea behind your album? And what made you create a different but equally amazing album? 

I was ready to dance and I listen to loads of different types of music so I thought it would be good to reflect my taste. 

Do you consider yourself a feminist? 

YES! I am a feminist and proud.  

A few years ago, I saw you at the Comedy Awards, you were stood alone in the reception. Don't they let you take mates or a fella?

Dry stone wall building, going to Yately or Winnersh triangle shopping for tidbits.
