Paloma Faith Blomfield (born 21 July 1981) is an English singer, songwriter, and actress. After signing to Epic Records in 2008, Faith released her debut studio album, Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? (2009), which produced the UK top-twenty singles "Stone Cold Sober" and "New York", and earned Faith her first BRIT Award nomination in 2010. Her second studio album, Fall to Grace (2012), charted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, earned her two Brit Award nominations, and spawned her first UK top-ten single, "Picking Up the Pieces" and the top-twenty cover version of INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart".
Faith's third studio album, A Perfect Contradiction (2014), stands as her most successful album to date. It was certified double platinum in the UK and spawned the two UK top-ten singles "Can't Rely on You" and "Only Love Can Hurt Like This", with the latter also topping the charts in Australia. She collaborated with the duo Sigma on the 2014 single "Changing", which charted atop the UK Singles Chart. Her fourth studio album, The Architect (2017), debuted at number one in the UK, becoming Faith's first number one album. In 2018, she collaborated with DJ Sigala on the single "Lullaby". Her next two studio albums, Infinite Things (2020) and The Glorification of Sadness (2024), both reached the top-five in the UK.
As an actress, Faith has appeared in the films St Trinian's (2007), The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), Dread (2009), Youth (2015), and the television series Pennyworth (2019–2022).
