Perfect Stranger - Marianne Faithfull Perfect Stranger - Marianne Faithfull
After a decade and a half of recording everything from 1960s pop covers culled from the ... more
Rolling Stones, the Beatles, country music, and
pensive singer/songwriters, Marianne Faithfull
signed with Island Records as a reinvented
new-wave punk queen. With sharpened edge at the
ready, she cut 1978's Broken English, a harrowing
purge of sexual jealousy and guilt, six cuts from
which are featured here. Her voice, ravaged from
years of excess, cracks with wasted beauty and
lent tarnished experience to her tales of struggle
and hopeless nostalgia. After several albums of
modern pop (a healthy selection from all are
included in this essential anthology), Faithfull
hooked up with producer Hal Willner to record
1987's Strange Weather, adopting a new role as an
ageless, bluesy chanteuse. A Perfect Stranger
follows through her another collaboration with
Angelo Badalamenti (1995's A Secret Life) and
features six previously unreleased tracks,
including a cover of John Lennon's "Isolation" and
"A Waste of Time", a song she co-wrote with Steve
Winwood. --Rob O'Connor

Broken English - Marianne Faithfull Broken English - Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull had been effectively written off as a one- hit wonder when she ... more
reappeared in 1979 to shock everyone with this
dark masterpiece. Gone was the bland choirgirl
voice of "As Tears Go By", replaced by an
instrument that, although ravaged by drink, drugs,
and hard living, had gained in expressiveness. The
music, which sounded like a synthesizer phalanx
hijacked by depressed punks, was perfectly suited
to these songs of disillusionment ("Ballad of Lucy
Jordan") and loss (the title track). Most powerful
was a "Working Class Hero" that matched John
Lennon's original sneer for sneer, and an X-rated
response to infidelity ("Why D'Ya Do It") that
could've been torn from Bill Clinton-inspired
headlines. --Ben Edmonds

Kissin' Time - Marianne Faithfull Kissin' Time - Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull is--after 38 years in music--still more famous for whom she had sex ... more
with in the 1960s than for her talents as singer
and lyricist. Her 11th album, Kissin' Time, uses
her wise and angry knowledge of this unjust state
of affairs, and comes up smelling not of roses,
but stale perfume, spilt gin and sex. The result
is her best-ever album. Comprising collaborations
with the likes of Beck, Blur, Pulp, The Smashing
Pumpkins' Billy Corgan and The Eurythmics' Dave
Stewart, Kissin' Time takes in everything from
spiky electro-pop (Beck's superb "Sex with
Strangers") to Tom Waits-lite (Blur's rather
self-conscious title track), by way of "Song for
Nico"'s no-punches-pulled ballad tribute to the
late Velvet Underground chanteuse, and the
magnificent "Sliding Through Life on Charm", where
Pulp's rousing anthemics provide the perfect
backdrop for Ms Faithfull's hilariously filthy
autobiographical defiance. Faithfull's cracked
cabaret growl and painfully personal lyrics remain
an acquired taste. But, if you can deal with a
middle-aged woman's sexual and emotional honesty,
and the album's deliberately eclectic tunes and
textures, then Kissin' Time is a classic of bold,
bitter and elegantly profane pop art. --Garry
Mulholland
