Paloma Faith enlists Kojey Radical for new single, "Pressure"
British artist Paloma Faith has released new track "Pressure", featuring MOBO winner and British rapper Kojey Radical, which is taken from her forthcoming sixth studio album, The Glorification of Sadness.
Speaking of the song, Paloma Faith says: “Pressure was a chorus originally sent to me by Liam Bailey through his friendship with Chase and Status. We then wrote verses with Gez O'Connell who was the original writer on the track and eventually arrived at this haunting subby place which I was hypnotised by. I had always hoped to collaborate with Kojey because I consider him to be one of the most exceptionally talented artists in the UK, and I'm a big fan of his work. This was a perfect pairing. I’m delighted with the result.”
Kojey Radical adds: “Paloma is one of the best truly fearless creatives this country has and it was an honour to be able join such a real and vulnerable record. I just hope i did it justice “
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. "Pressure" follows previous singles, "How You Leave A Man", and "Bad Woman".
The album is produced by Swedish born but LA native Martin Wave. Having started work together on a track for the new album, and enjoying his cinematic style production, he quickly became a cornerstone of the album. It also features collaborators Chase & Status, Kojey Radical, Maverick Sabre, Lapsley, MJ Cole, Fred Cox, Amy Wadge, Liam Bailey and Jaycen Joshua.
Paloma Faith will embark on the ‘The Glorification Of Sadness Tour 2024’ tour across the UK and Europe. The 35 date tour kicks off in Reading, with a headline show at The Hexagon and includes a headline show at London’s Eventim Apollo concluding with a show in Lincoln.
The Glorification of Sadness is set for release on 16 February via RCA Records, and is available to pre-order now.
