Our Take

Marianne Faithfull's The Very Best Of is a deliciously tongue-in-cheek collection of hits from the iconic singer's storied career. From the haunting melodies of "As Tears Go By" to the defiant anthems of "Broken English," Faithfull effortlessly weaves her way through genres and emotions with a grace and charm that only a true music legend could possess. Each track on this album is a journey through Faithfull's impressive discography, showcasing her powerful vocals and emotive storytelling. The mysterious allure of "Why'd Ya Do It" is juxtaposed with the whimsical charm of "Sister Morphine," creating a dynamic listening experience that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. Throughout The Very Best Of, Faithfull's raw honesty and vulnerability shine through, creating a sense of intimacy and connection with the listener. Whether she's delving into heartbreak or empowerment, Faithfull's voice remains a constant source of strength and inspiration. In true Marianne Faithfull fashion, this album is a delightful mix of darkness and light, love and loss, joy and despair. It's a testament to Faithfull's enduring talent and the timeless quality of her music. So, grab a glass of red wine, light a candle, and lose yourself in the world of Marianne Faithfull. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Marianne Faithfull is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, this British singer-songwriter has left an indelible mark on the folk and rock music scenes. Faithfull first rose to fame in the 1960s with her hauntingly beautiful rendition of "As Tears Go By," penned by none other than Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. Since then, she has continued to push boundaries with her unique blend of folk, rock, and blues, earning critical acclaim and a devoted following along the way. Known for her raspy, emotive vocals and poetic lyrical sensibilities, Faithfull's music is a true reflection of her life experiences.

But don't let her tough exterior fool you - Faithfull is also a true eccentric at heart.

Whether she's performing on stage in a sparkly jumpsuit or cracking jokes in interviews, Faithfull always keeps her audience on their toes. So, if you're looking for an artist who's equal parts enigmatic and entertaining, look no further than Marianne Faithfull. With her timeless music and magnetic stage presence, she's a true icon of the music world.
