Marianne Faithfull - Before the Poison

Last time around, she collaborated with Beck and Billy Corgan, with mixed results. This time, Faithfull picks the perfect partners for her tortured cabaret-singer persona: iconoclasts Nick Cave and PJ Harvey. Cave contributes “Crazy Love,” with its gypsy strings, and the strange “Desperanto,” which features Faithfull rapping. Harvey produced five songs, including the disturbing “No Child of Mine” and “The Mystery of Love,” which rivals Faithfull’s best work on her 1979 classic Broken English. Chilling stuff.
