Fall to Grace

Fall to Grace is a studio album. It is the second one by British singer-songwriter Paloma Faith. It was released on 28 May 2012.[1][2][3] She worked on the album with producer Nellee Hooper, who previously worked with artists such as Björk, Massive Attack, and Gwen Stefani.[1][2][3]

Faith has said "The new album has taken on a very cinematic mood. I am very excited to introduce my new sound into the world. Working with Nellee Hooper (Björk, Madonna) has been really inspirational."[1] Likewise, Hooper said that working with Faith reminded him of his work with Björk, saying "At lunch [Paloma Faith] sat and talked in such detail, as if every song was a short film, referencing everything from Chinese romantic cinema to Hip Hop."[2]

The album's lead single is "Picking Up the Pieces". It was released on 20 May 2012. Faith described it as "...the issues of being in a relationship with someone who is still recovering from a previous relationship with another person. It is a song about self-doubt and insecurity."[1][3]
