Marianne Faithfull – She Walks in Beauty [CD]

Description

A unique new album of poetry and music featuring Marianne Faithfull, set to the music of Warren Ellis, and featuring Nick Cave, Brian Eno and Vincent Sgal.

Marianne Faithfull releases one of the most distinctive albums of her extraordinary life and career with composer and multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis. It was recorded just before and during the first Covid-19 lockdown during which the singer herself became infected and almost died. Together with musical friends and family, She Walks in Beauty fulfils Faithfulls long-held ambition to record an album of poetry with music.

Delving deep into her past, its a record that draws on her passion for the English Romantic poets, a passion she fostered at St Joseph’s Convent School before leaving for London at the age of 16. There she entered the world of As Tears Go By, of Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, setting her on a left-hand path to pop stardom. Sixties iconography and outrage followed, as did her subsequent battles with addiction before her 1979 return to powerful female and artistic autonomy with Broken English.
