Paloma Faith has announced her seventh studio album, IN FULL COLOUR!, for Friday 5 March 2027. The British singer released its first single, Gone, on 13 November alongside a video that opens an 11-part visual project called The Paloma Show. The announcement also sets out a UK tour for October 2027, including dates at the Brighton Centre and London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The RCA release follows 2024’s The Glorification of Sadness, which reached number two on the UK albums chart. That record explored the end of a relationship and the work of rebuilding afterwards. Faith describes the new album as deliberately optimistic, though its first single still wrestles with a sense of loss. This time, the focus of the song and video is the isolation that can come with performing in public.
Paloma Faith draws on Northern Soul for Gone
Gone draws on 1960s and 1970s soul, with Motown and Northern Soul among its reference points. Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman, whose credits include work with Victoria Monét and Hozier, produced the track and the album. Attitude’s report on the announcement also credits Jaycen Joshua with mixing and mastering the record.
Faith has emphasised how the album was made. According to the announcement published by the Brighton Centre, the recordings were made with played instruments, without AI or sampled sounds. The cover artwork was assembled by hand with scissors and glue. That approach extends the album’s interest in older ways of making music and images beyond the sound of the first single.
The Paloma Show takes its cues from British television
The accompanying visual project was made with creative director Theo Adams. It borrows from British television of the 1970s and 1980s, with talk shows, game shows, psychic phone-ins and weather forecasts among the formats it recreates. Faith plays several characters across the series, which begins with the video for Gone.
In that first instalment, she plays a singer who leaves her own body and discovers that the people around her pay her no attention. Faith described the song as being about the loneliness of standing on stage and wondering whether anyone sees the person behind the performance. Having her play the other characters, too, gives the video a way to explore that idea. The singer who wants to be seen is surrounded by different versions of herself.
The project gives Faith a separate setting for the album’s songs, with a play on the sorts of programmes once familiar to viewers flicking through the channels. Gone is the first episode audiences can see. The Hype Magazine’s coverage of the release carries the official video, which was directed by Adams and filmed at the Albany Theatre.
