The Architect is the fourth studio album by British singer-songwriter Paloma Faith, released by Sony Music Entertainment on 17 November 2017.
Faith stated, "The Architect is a social observation record. I was adamant that I wouldn't write about love. I wanted to look outside of myself. I'm coming at politics from the perspective of the common man or woman, observing why people are suffering. Each song on the record is about a different pocket of the socio-political world that I've been delving into. I wanted to write something more modern. On previous albums I've been more concerned with the past, but now I'm looking forward because of motherhood and wanting to change things for a better future. It's a marriage of old and new."
The Architect debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling over 40,000 copies, becoming Faith's first UK chart-topping album and pushing reputation by Taylor Swift from the top spot.
On November 16, 2018, the album was reissued as "The Architect (Zeitgeist Edition)" including 5 brand new tracks and "Lullaby", Paloma's collaboration with English DJ and producer Sigala released earlier that year. Following the re-release, The Architect re-entered the UK Albums Chart placing at #22.
