Paloma Faith has been announced as one of the first National Album Day ambassadors, helping to launch BBC Music's new annual event which celebrates the UK's love of new and classic releases, taking place October 13.

The Upside Down hitmaker commented 'I vividly remember being excited by so many classic albums as I was growing up, like Marvin Gaye's What’s Going On, Dylan's Freewheelin, and Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun.... The way we engage with music may be changing, but for me the album remains the ultimate expression of the songwriter’s craft'.
