Paloma Faith got the Arena partying on Friday night!
Last updated 12th Mar 2018
Emerging from a trap door dressed in a pink fringed dress, Paloma Faith showed that becoming a mother hasn’t dampened her flare for the outrageous on her tour, The Architect.
Her support act, XanVolo relaxed the crowd with his smooth vocals and laid back style of music that summoned images of lazy Sunday afternoons to the listeners’ minds. Since the crowd was relaxed, the impact of Ms Faith arriving on stage was even greater.
Launching straight into her first three songs, all from her newest album, Paloma Faith dominated the stage with her presence. Her down to earth personality shone out every time she spoke about the reasons she wrote the songs, delivering positive messages each and every time.
Stand out performances include Crybaby, WW3 and Changes. Throughout her set Paloma Faith gave each and every member of her band and backing singers their individual chance to shine. This may have something to do with how the stage was set: with a built set that look like crystals in a cave right in the centre, the band and singers were staged so that you can see them at all times rather than being pushed to the side like most artists have their bands do.
This is testament to Ms Faith’s kind-hearted nature. She is unselfish and loving and that is what you take away from her tour. Her songs have positive messages of love and kindness which the world needs more of, but it’s also a lot of fun
