08 Stone Cold Sober
07 New York (with or without Ghostface Killah) (I actually thought I liked this more before I re-listened just now - odd) 07 Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? 09 Upside Down (bit of a guilty pleasure and it works really well for any dance/ice skating performance!) 08 Smoke & Mirrors 10 Picking Up the Pieces 06 30 Minute Love Affair (sorry Aly it's nice album material but not really a killer single) 06 Never Tear Us Apart 10 Just Be (shame this didn't really do anything - a perfect example of a piano ballad that ticks all the right boxes  )05 Black & Blue 09 Can't Rely on You (underrated bop - didn't think that much of it around release time but I blame that on the Pharrell over-saturation at the time) 11 Only Love Can Hurt Like This 07 Trouble with My Baby 09 Changing (with Sigma) 06 Ready for the Good Life 06 Leave While I'm Not Looking 05 Beauty Remains 07 Crybaby 08 Guilty 06 'Til I'm Done Pretty consistent over the four albums! 1st is still the strongest imo as a whole but she has some better singles later on - shame nothing has really taken off from The Architect, guess due to us now entering the streaming era? There's a few from the 3rd album I had no idea were released as singles - only listening to them for the first time now! |

My rate is incoming, but can we all take some time to appreciate the video for 'Smoke & Mirrors'?

Should I bother doing this if I’ve only heard 5 of her songs?

This was really hard.
10 Stone Cold Sober - So, so good and catchy and this instantly set Paloma apart from other artists for me. 10 New York - I was absolutely obsessed with this. So emotional and some story telling. 08.5 Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? - This sounds so moody and dark but is also quite soothing to listen to. 07[ Upside Down - I love the lyrics and how upbeat it is but I have to be in the mood to listen or I find it a little annoying. 09.5 Smoke & Mirrors - This is fabulous. I love how she draws in things from when she was a magician's assistant too, to describe a failed romance. 09 Picking Up the Pieces - I remember being super excited when this got released. Such a huge song and one that definitely started getting her noticed. 07 30 Minute Love Affair - Nice enough but it is kinda just there for me. 08 Never Tear Us Apart - Lovely cover which suits her voice well. 06.5 Just Be - Hmm. Some parts of this song are exceptional, but I feel like this song tries too hard and I hate the "Just say nothing" line. 06.5 Black & Blue - It's got a nice message and makes a solid album track but not sure for a single... 11 Can't Rely on You - Absolute anthem and her live performances of this are amazing. 08.5 Only Love Can Hurt Like This - This song is like a rich indulgent chocolate. Nice to listen to but only once in a while. I do love it though. 07.5 Trouble with My Baby - Had to look this one up but I do know it. It's pretty good but not that memorable. 09 Changing (with Sigma) - This is huge, and I'm so glad she collaborated on this - It still sounds great now! 08.5 Ready for the Good Life - This is one I forget exists sometimes but it's pretty cool and quirky once you listen. It doesn't follow the same set up as a lot of her other songs. 05 Leave While I'm Not Looking - This is a poor man's OLCHLT really. Probably my least favourite single. 08 Beauty Remains - I had to look this up too and then realised it used to be on the loop tape at work! I always really liked it and found it to be quite emotional. Definitely underrated. 10 Crybaby - This still sounds so original yet catchy and one of her best singles to date for me. 09.5 Guilty - This is huge and honest. Another one I had on repeat. 10 'Til I'm Done - What a banger! Incredible, upbeat, catchy and I love how it draws some influences from late 70s/early 80s disco. What else would you want from a pop song?? This post has been edited by Parallel Reality: 18th February 2018, 07:31 PM |

She really should have released 'Mouth To Mouth' instead of 'Trouble With My Baby'. I was always baffled by that decision.

10 "Stone Cold Sober"

I could have been less predictable with my 11 because 30MLA (soooo underrated) and PUTP are so close but it had to be OLCHLT, what a song. |
