Paloma Faith 'How You Leave A Man' by Theo Adams

Rob Ulitski - 16th Oct 2023

Paloma Faith ushers in a brand new era in Theo Adams' explosive promo for How You Leave A Man. 

Shot in Warsaw, the video depicts Paloma as an enigmatic screen siren, cruising through a nocturnal city-scape, in a beautifully lit, cinematic portrayal of empowerment.

Building to a strobe-lit, frenetic climax, the video is a perfect showcase for Paloma Faith's talent as a performer and actress - and proves she isn't afraid to push the boundaries and reinvent herself on her own terms.

“Directing Paloma's first video in three years has been an absolute joy," says Theo Adams. "I've known Paloma since I was 16, when we were both performing in back rooms of East London clubs in ludicrous regalia and buckets of fake blood. I want to thank her for putting her trust in me now all these years later and delivering the raw, cathartic, and explosively powerful performance this video needed - just as she did all those years ago.

"I put Paloma and the entire crew through some Herculean conditions, filming in the rain, thunder, lightning, and freezing temperatures while speeding down Warsaw's city streets in the middle of the night for hours on end. But we all had the best time!”
