Critic Reviews

guardian

8.0

“She Walks in Beauty marks the culmination of Marianne Faithfull’s longstanding love of the Romantic poets, first kindled at convent school in Reading in the early 1960s. Here, the works of Keats, Byron, Shelley, Tennyson and Wordsworth are brought vividly to life by her rich, weathered voice and impeccable intonation. She’s backed by imaginative musique concrète soundscapes courtesy of Warren Elli”

“Her collaborative spoken-word album with the Bad Seeds' Warren Ellis finds her reciting verses by Keats, Shelley, and Lord Byron, and finding new depth in the words”

“Faithfull pairs her forever-soothing voice with the words of the Romantic poets who inspired her, over tasteful accompaniments from Bad Seeds sonic architect Warren Ellis.”
