PUBLISHED OCT 31, 2018

It is rare to see honest people anymore. That's why 'Negative Capability' stands out distinctly in today's soundscape. The 21st album of Marianne Faithfull digs deep in ways that lay the 71-year-old's life bare for the world to see. And one can only feel appreciative of the brutal honesty with which she approaches her latest musical survivor offering. 

In fact, it's phenomenal to see that the singer, songwriter and actor has been making music for over 50 years, from the time her stellar career took off at the age of 16 when she released her first hit single 'As Tears Go By' that made her an international star.
