The discography of English singer-songwriter Paloma Faith consists of three studio albums, fourteen singles (including six as a featured artist) and seven music videos. Faith made her debut in September 2009 with the studio album Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?, which peaked at number nine in the United Kingdom and was later certified double-platinum. Its first two singles, "Stone Cold Sober" and "New York", both peaked within the top twenty in the United Kingdom. The album spawned three more original singles: "Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?", "Upside Down" and "Smoke & Mirrors". Faith re-released "New York" featuring Ghostface Killah in August 2010.[1] Faith released her second album, Fall to Grace, on 28 May 2012. It was preceded by the single, "Picking Up the Pieces", which peaked at number 7 in the UK, becoming Faith's highest charting single. "30 Minute Love Affair", "Just Be", "Black & Blue" and "Never Tear Us Apart" were all released as singles from Fall to Grace, the latter of which, a cover of the original by INXS, became Faith's fourth single to chart in the top 20 in the UK. Her third studio album is A Perfect Contradiction (2014).[2][3][needs update]
