| Philosophy | Iconic musician Marianne Faithful has revealed the John Maybury directed music video for ‘The Gypsy Faerie Queen’, the first single from her forthcoming album ‘Negative Capability’ (out November 2nd 2018 on BMG). The new album has been described by the Financial Times as “a raw and mesmerising new album” and by Q Mag as “Rock’n’roll’s elder stateswoman on magnificent form”. The video is produced by PRETTYBIRD (Bjork, Beyonce, Rihanna) and directed by John Maybury, who is signed to PRETTYBIRD. Maybury is a Grammy nominated English filmmaker who has had an illustrious career working with luminaries of music and art including the late Francis Bacon (‘Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon’) and Sinead O’Connor (‘Nothing Compares 2 U’). Featuring Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Ed Harcourt & Rob Ellis, with additional vocals by Nick Cave, ‘The Gypsy Faerie Queen’ was inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Nick Cave co-wrote ‘The Gypsy Faerie Queen’ with Marianne Faithful, who describes the song as: “It’s a little miracle,” says Marianne. “It’s just gorgeous....I think it’s one of the loveliest songs we’ve ever written together. It was so great working with Nick again.” Early reviews of ‘Negative Capability’, Marianne’s 21st album, are declaring it a raw ad mesmerizing masterpiece. Released on November 2nd it is her “most honest album” and arguably the most emotionally powerful of her 54-year recording career. The album is charged with brutal honesty and autobiographical reflection as she addresses losing old friends, her loneliness living in her adopted city of Paris, and love. |
