Marianne Faithfull

11.07.2002

Live at Auditorium Stravinski

 

The big names of rock and pop lined up to work with Mick Jagger's former muse when she made her new recording Kissin Time: Beck, Billy Corgan, Damon Albarn and Dave Stewart urged her to re-create that fervent sense of intimacy that she is famous for. Fragile and innocent, Marianne Faithfull's comeback is as joyful as it is unexpected, Fascinating and mysterious, Marianne is writing a new chapter in her endugin career. Tumultuous life aside, her emotional singing combines amazing innovation with a great spirit of freedom. (FFJM © 2002)
