Elegant Symphony Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication...

Lately, I have grown increasingly tired of egotism and narcissism in American music. Granted, I like to get hype like everyone else, but listening to it 24/7? Come on. It's so bad that even underground artists are stooping to said level in order to get recognition. So, instead of keeping the classics we have all grown to love over the years in continuous rotation, I have decided to branch out of my musical comfort zone and go international in hopes of finding a breath of fresh air.

Today's featured artist is Paloma Faith, hailing from London. Her music is actually rather soothing and good for chilling out in general. I personally enjoy the use of live instrumentation in music. In my opinion, live bands accompanying a singer are far more enjoyable than the computerized slop perpetuated by many artists these days. Paloma Faith and her band fit the bill. Paloma Faith's graceful vocals over the rhythmic melodies of the band are quite delightful.

I also enjoy her 1940/50s style. It is truly an elegance lacking in society anymore. Overall, Paloma Faith is not that far of a stretch from the music I am accustomed to listening to (at least her musical accompaniment anyway). I recommend Checking out her debut album entitled Do You Want the Truth of Something Beautiful?
