OK, I’ll admit it. I am an unabashed fan of Paloma’s. I fell in love with “New York” and am totally mesmerized by the album. When, oh when, is a US release planned??! And a US tour??! Don’t keep us Yanks waiting too long. The US needs Paloma Faith now!

Hey, its good to see paloma has fans in other countries!!

i think it will be a little while until the album is released in the US because its only been out a few weeks here (uk)

It will probably also be a long time until a tour in the US because paloma hasant even started her tour hear yet. She still just starting off in the industry, but in the uk this week her album has had a big boost in sales so hopefully shell be in US soon!

thanks

Hey OTTO

Welcome to the forum! - great to hear that Paloma is reaching you across the pond. 

Given her talent and the deserved reception of her debut album here, hopefully it won’t be long before it’s released over there (along with a tour fingers crossed!)

Let us know Where/when did you first hear about Paloma in the states?

Well, thanks to the WunderRadio app on my iPhone, I have easy access to thousands of radio stations across the world. I stumbled upon Paloma whilst listening to Le Mouv’ radio in Paris. They were playing “Cold Stone Sober”—I liked it so well, that I went to their playlist, found out it was Paloma, then found her Myspace and heard more, including “New York” and was completely hooked.

She reminds me of the best parts of Amy Winehouse, Macy Gray and Shirley Bassey all mixed together. Love the big orchestral elements too.

Mark my words—she will do very, very well in the States.

Welcome to the forum.  Hope she does get to have success in America! She would be amazing! xx

I would love for her to come to the US as well. I just discovered her yesterday. Love, love, love her!!!!

Hello all, I am new here…but it seems this board is dead…here to bump it up!!   Anyhoo, I am FROM New York and in love with Paloma.  I found out about her back in February/March through an Anglophile friend/collector, and got the album reasonably priced at famed NYC indie store J&R…they stock lots of imports…normally I wait for a US release but there was no word of one, so I shelled out the $17.99 for the import…not bad.  Normally I wait for US versions as there could have been the B-sides on the album as bonus tracks…I’m not keen on buying 2-track CD singles unless it’s necessary and the only way to acquire those songs.

In short, I am in love with Paloma…the record is sheer perfection…and I saw she was in the movie “St Trinian’s” which DID come out on DVD in the US, so I bought that too.

I keep on checking her Myspace page for news on US dates and US releases, but nothing…so I went to Epic Records’ US site, and lo & behold, our Paloma is not even listed on there as an artist on the label!!!  Soooo either she is on Columbia in the US or another label altogether, which one I do not know, anybody??

So then I Googled “Paloma Faith US” and this board came up, and I was like, wellll of course!!!  Today, I was on her Myspace and she says she’s doing some dates through November to say goodbye to this album, go into hiding and start recording album #2…sooooo when she does come, it will be for supporting 2 albums or one of those dreaded conundrum mashup album jobs where it’s a unique release with songs from 2 or more albums with a new song, exclusive track, remix, or B-side added to make it collectible.

BTW, I keep hearing “Stone Cold Sober” in this US mascara commercial with an English girl’s voice speaking…it keeps raising my hopes for US action for our Paloma.

We’ll see, but anyhoo, pleasure to meet you all, and talk soon, my new friends.

I think she would be BIG in the USA,dont know why the album has not been released there yet,but i think it will eventually.I simply think shes the best talent on the music scene at the moment,ive seen her a couple of times,latest one in Sheffield and will be seeing her in Wolverhampton in October to see her great live show.
