Paloma Faith unveils "Bad Woman" as the second single from her forthcoming album

"Bad Woman" is a power anthem, following its predecessor "How You Leave A Man", and carrying a message of female empowerment at its very forefront.

"This song, "Bad Woman", stands out as a personal favourite from the album. It delves into the myriad societal challenges women confront, illustrating the exhausting struggle to meet expectations. The pressure to conform or risk being labelled 'incompetent' or a 'Bad Woman' can be overwhelming," Faith says. "My hope is that women embrace their authenticity, feel comfortable in their own skin, and understand that imperfection is a part of being human. Let's free ourselves from the societal pressures that label us and encourage each other to stay true to our authentic selves."

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 that she has executively produced a record. The album is produced by Swedish born but LA native Martin Wave who made a name for himself within the Hollywood film space. Having started work together on a track for the new album and enjoying Martin’s 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.

On the album Faith comments, “The Glorification of Sadness 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, drawing on her own experiences with Paloma acting as the anchor to direct a deeply personal narrative and album.”
