A Perfect Contradiction is the third studio album (currently import only) by eccentric English recording artist Paloma Faith. Faith turned to R&B royalty, choosing to work with comeback kid Pharrell Williams and also with Tony! Toni! Toné! front man Raphael Saadiq.
A Perfect Contradiction is a more life-affirming and brassy collection. The tone is set by the opening track, and first single, “Can’t Rely on You”, produced by Pharrell Williams. The collaboration happened because Williams sought out Faith at the 2013 Met Ball in New York, took her phone and keyed in his number. The fact that the “coolest man on earth” wanted to work with her seems to have given Faith a self-assured sass that runs through A Perfect Contradiction.
Faith says, “People always ask me: ‘You seem so upbeat – why are your songs so miserable?’ And I thought: ‘You know what? They’ve got a point!’ This time I wanted to show another side. When you first write these sad songs they are therapy because you’ve got something off your chest. But a year and a half later you’re still picking a scab.” via- theguardian.com
