PJ Harvey's Pets

PJ Harvey (Polly Jean) MBE is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. One of the most notable aspects of PJ Harvey’s career is her ability to break out of conventional genres and create music that is uniquely her own. Her breakout role came with the release of her 1992 debut album, “Dry,” which was a critical and commercial success. The album was praised for its raw, intense sound, and powerful lyrics, which tackled issues such as sexuality, relationships, and mental health. With “Dry,” Harvey established herself as a fearless and uncompromising artist, unafraid to confront difficult subject matter head-on.

Harvey’s success continued with the release of her second album, “Rid of Me,” in 1993. The album was produced by Steve Albini and received critical acclaim for its raw, stripped-down sound. The album showcased Harvey’s ability to blend elements of punk, blues, and rock into a cohesive and powerful musical style.

Over the course of her career, Harvey has collaborated with a range of artists, including Nick Cave, Thom Yorke, and John Parish. One of her most notable collaborations came in 2011 when she teamed up with legendary producer Flood and musician Mick Harvey to create “Let England Shake,” a critically acclaimed album that won the Mercury Prize and was hailed as one of the best albums of the year.
