Another two valiant competitors slug it out on PopMaster. Plus we play you a love song at 10:15, play some more music and hear two more choices from Paloma Faith in Tracks Of My Years. You may not be familiar with the name Paloma Faith just yet but you will have heard her songs, Stone Cold Sober and New York, all over the place. Born in London's Hackney, the 24-year-old singer wrote her debut album, You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?, in the UK, Sweden and America and recorded it entirely in London. In the lead up to becoming a singer, she has been a magician's assistant, a trained contemporary dancer, an art student with an MA in theatre direction, a performer in burlesque shows, and an actress, appearing in St Trinians and the new Terry Gilliam film The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.
