"New York" is a song by English recording artist Paloma Faith from her debut studio album Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?
[3] Digital Spy gave the song 3/5 stars and a less positive rating than Stone Cold Sober: 'New York', Faith's follow-up, is a rather more straightforward offering than its predecessor.
The lyrics tell the tale of a girl who loses a guy to "another lady", but sadly for Paloma the lass in question isn't a flesh-and-blood adversary, but actually the Big Apple.
Despite its sweeping strings and soaring vocals, 'New York' is a shade unremarkable compared to her debut, but it still manages to whet the appetite for Faith's upcoming album.
[4] New York is Faith's fourth most successful single to date, behind "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" "Picking Up the Pieces" and "Can't Rely on You" charting in the top forty in six different countries.
