  1. 8.0 |   BBC

    A supremely accomplished sophomore album. Fall to Grace is proof that pop doesn't need to be grey and restrained to feel grown-up

  2. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Nellee Hooper's production, taking an odd Europop flourish as well as classic soul flavours, serves the zesty material well. Print edition only

  3. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Worth visiting on a download mission rather than going the whole hog

  4. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    Paloma Faith remains a star, but her music isn’t quite so stellar
    Read Review

  5. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Paloma Faith has hooked up with producer Nellee Hooper to develop her undeniable talents in more modern directions

  6. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    A big pop album full of big poppy hooks
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Fall To Grace has a constant, steady pulse throughout and really needs several listens to grasp and appreciate the moments where it excels above the multitude of popular female vocalists

  8. 6.0 |   Tone Deaf

    A well-rounded, girly pop album
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    It is undeniably a step down from her excellent 2009 release, with too little suiting such a distinctive artist

  10. 6.0 |   All Music

    Commercially, she's faring well. Artistically, she's still coming into her own
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Faith blends a fierce old-school vocal attack (the Dusty in Memphis drama on “Beauty of the End”) with new-school flexibility (the disco-diva turn on “Blood, Sweat & Tears”)

  12. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    Few could deny her vocal talents but you can't help but feel the character that made her stand out in a crowded pop room has been diluted somewhere along the line

  13. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Lots of nondescript ballads, a splash of contemporary disco
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   Q

    Resolutely middle-of-the-road box-ticker that fails to engage. Print edition only

  15. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    The album’s saving grace is Just Be, a simple, bluesy piano tune that allows Faith’s personality to break through the wall of glossy homogeny. It’s a shame we don’t see more of it

Mogwai  The Bad Fire

‘The Bad Fire’ might not cure your January blues entirely but it’ll at least provide a glimmer of hope to get you through the bleakest of months. All in all, an utterly enthralling 11th studio effort from these avant rock stalwart Clash

Rose Gray  Louder, Please

The up-and-coming British artist shines on her vibrant, hedonistic debut album musicOMH

FKA Twigs  Eusexua

Twigs’ third album brings club music into her sensual, supernatural world. It’s a masterful pop-star moment for the artist Pitchfork
