Paloma Faith is set to take to the stage at Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens this weekend as part of a tour for her latest album, The Glorification of Sadness.
Paloma says the record is “more than an album about relationships. The celebration of finding your way back after leaving a long-term relationship, being empowered even in your failures and taking responsibility for your own happiness”. It is her most personal album to date.
The singer has alos just published MILF: Motherhood Identity Love F*ckery, her Frank and visceral account of being a mother. The Irish Times review described it as “brutally honest and taboo-breaking, its pages laces with belly laughs; beautiful tenderness; and sharp polemical critique of where we are at, feminism-wise, in our part of the world”.
