Just recently,Faith admitted it could be time for a career change, just two months after the release of her latest top-10 album, The Glorification Of Sadness. She opened up inJamie Laing'sGreat Company podcast and said,“My mum’s always telling me I need to train to be a teacher. She’s like, ‘You’ve had kids, you’ve done the pop star thing. Go and do PGCE [teacher training] because then you can have the sameholidaysas your kids’. I’m considering it. I just might put one more record out.”
Later in the podcast, the artist also opened up about dealing with the stress of releasing new albums and said she isn’t scared of being let go by her label and she also admitted to thinking that every album could be her last one.
Moreover, her first albumin four years followed a difficult period in Faith's life, including parting ways with her long term partnerLeyman Lahcine.
In a candidchat, Faith told the Sun: “I was so broken, honestly—II think I had a nervous breakdown.
“I was so broken that my brain didn’t even work in that way of being conscious. It is difficult for me to remember much of it because I was so sad and full of guilt and shame.”
Since the end of the relationship in 2022, Faith and her partner Lahcine have been co-parentingtheir two children. We are excited for her to make a full recovery and to start performing again live. We wish her the best.
