The Glorification of Sadness is the sixth studio album by British singer Paloma Faith. It was released on 16 February 2024, through Sony Music and RCA Records.
In October 2023, Faith revealed that her upcoming album would be "pretty personal", stressing how "nervous" she was to put her private life out into public. It was produced by Swedish producer Martin Wave, who initially only worked on one song in the beginning and ended becoming the "cornerstone of the album". [1] The lead single "How You Leave a Man" was released on 11 October, which she described as "one of the most life-changing moments" of her life. [2] The Glorification of Sadness is a "divorce album without the divorce" as she was separating from her partner of ten years, whom she has two children with. Writing songs for the album helped her "capture her state of mind", [3] inspired by the breakup in 2022. [4] Following "How You Leave a Man", the singer released "Bad Woman" which carries "a message of female empowerment at its very forefront". [5] "Pressure", with British artist Kojey Radical, was released on 19 January 2024 as a promotional single and origins from a chorus sent to her by Liam Bailey and was then co-written with Gez O'Connell. [1] The thrird single, "Sweatpants", was released simultaneously with the album on February 16. [6]
On 21 February 2024, the track "Enjoy Yourself" was announced as the official single for the 2024 Red Nose Day campaign, organized by Comic Relief. On that date, the song received a digital single, in addition to an exclusive pre-sale on Amazon for two physical versions of the song (on CD and 7-inch vinyl) released on 8 March 2024. [7] [8]
Faith is set to promote the album through a 35-date Europe tour in April 2024. [9] [1]
