Gearing up for another monumental chapter, Paloma Faith hasreturned with the release of her brand new single and video How You Leave A Man – a zero-tolerance barn-burner about not sticking with the monotony and neglect of domesticity. Instead, the British pop superstar suggests packing your bags, emptying the bank account and driving off into the sunset, ideally soundtracked by epic violins and a distorted guitar solo. “Remember what I told ya,” she sings, her voice towering and severe: “This is how you leave a man.”
The single precedes the February 16 release of Paloma’s sixth studio album The Glorification of Sadness via RCA Records.
Produced by award winning producer and composer Martin Wave and co-written with JKash, Andrew Wells, Ellie King and Charlie Puth, How You Leave A Man has ALL the makings of a new era of Paloma. It’s confident. It’s cinematic. It’s empowering. It’s compelling from beginning to end, all powered by the kind of anthems that transformed her into an icon.
The single is about finding the confidence to walk away from a relationship and being empowered with your own happiness, its limitless expression of pop allows it to sit comfortably next to Paloma’s many chart successors and then some.
This is the first new music from Paloma since the release of her fifth studio album Infinite Things in November 2020 and is the first time in her career where she has executively produced a record. The album features collaborators Chase & Status, Kojey Radical, Maverick Sabre, Lapsley, MJ Cole, Fred Cox, Amy Wadge, Liam Bailey and Jaycen Joshua.
The Glorification of Sadness is available for pre-order at all physical and digital retailers and will be released on February 16 via RCA Records. Pre-order HERE.
Catch Paloma at the Brighton Centre on Saturday, April 20, 2024. Tickets HERE.
