MARIANNE FAITHFULL

Maria Bethania

Art mostly originates from sorrow, affliction, and torment. In many cases, the great female interpreters of almost every music genre – from soul to jazz, opera and rock – built their efforts on distress, sickness or devastation. From Billy Holiday or Bessie Smith, to Tina Turner or the current hit singer Amy Winehouse, a long series of outstanding artists has filled up the most distinguished pages of the history of music. A history that wouldn’t be complete without one of the most prominent artist of all ages, Marianne Faithfull.

She was the heroine of the 1960s London rock scene, the childlike voice which glorified As Tears Go By, the aristocrat who descended into hell. Today, to the great joy and satisfaction of all those who used to love and admire her, she’s the survivor that has managed to escape the bitter clutches of destiny and death; the deep, intense voice of a woman who sings from her soul; a beautiful and peaceful songwriter who experiments with new sounds, from blues to jazz, without neglecting her rock roots. Today, nicotine is the only thing that remains on her vice list, and she keeps captivating audiences with her strong, mesmeric, and temperamental presence.
