Marianne FAITHFULL
UK
Teenage pop star, Mick Jagger’s girlfriend and fateful icon of the 1960s, “Sister Morphine” lost in the darkness of addiction in the 1970s, reborn in punk rock with her acclaimed Broken English in 1979, then moving more towards pop rock, emotional singer/songwriter in the 2000s, film and theatre actress... MARIANNE FAITHFULL is still here, with her throaty, bewitching voice, after 47 years of a career unlike any other: tortuous, tormented and utterly dedicated to creation. An inexhaustible source of intergenerational collaborations, she has worked with Billy Corgan, Beck, Blur, Pulp, PJ Harvey & Nick Cave, John Porter, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Metallica...
Her latest album, Horses and High Heels, is the work of a woman who is more inspired than ever. It blends soul, blues, folk, country, jaunty jazz-pop accents and a captivating rock guitar, all supported by her incredible voice. This album, as colourful, tragic and free as MARIANNE FAITHFULL’S own life, vibrates with that sophisticated joy of those who’ve seen the world.
