Paloma Faith’s ferocious sixth album, <a href="spotify:album:3TpQfWDRBdDBqn9Edfr8uk" data-name="The Glorification of Sadness">The Glorification of Sadness</a>, is an epic, expansive, deeply personal record that turns over these feelings by taking a chronological journey through the cracking of an adult relationship, and with it a family.
Despite Paloma’s clear creative directive, the album’s title sums up her ambivalence about a culture in which “there’s quite a sick and twisted call for any artist to turn the most awful things that happened to them into a commodity,” she says. “It’s a strange idea, to sell your own grieving process. Writing about it was a therapeutic experience for me but at the same time now that I’m left with this object for sale, it is a bit sinister.”
