Faithfull Marianne

In the 1960s the iconic Marianne Faithfull gained major popularity and international stardom with the release of her single “As Tears Go By” written by her close friends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. She became one of the lead female forerunners during the British Music Invasion in the US. Totally unemotional yet somehow caring, Faithfull holds that rare ability to transform any lyric into something persuasive and utterly personal. She has that exceptional talent of finding herself in the words and music of other artists and transforms their work into her own personal manifestation. Her debut album Marianne Faithfull became a commercial success and paved the way for more successful albums to come. Her popularity grew even stronger by her film roles, such as “I'll Never Forget What’s ‘is Name”, “The Girl on a Motorcycle” and “Hamlet”. After a long commercial absence, Marianne released the successful comeback album Broken English, for which she was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Faithfull was also listed on VH1’s “100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll” list and received the “World Lifetime Achievement Award” at the 2009 “Women’s World Award”. For her 50th anniversary as a singer and international rock icon Marianne Faithfull releases a special treat for her fans. No Exit presents a best of collection of her live performances all over Europe. Moreover, the release of the album appears hand in hand with the release of the 2014 Budapest concert video and 4 highlight songs from her 2016 performance at the Roundhouse in London. Marianne first performance at the Roundhouse was in the acclaimed Tony Richardson production of Hamlet back in 1969. The concert was Marianne’s first performance in the capital since last November when she played to an ecstatic crowd at the sold out London’s Royal Festival Hall. This new release truly shows why Marianne has reached iconic stardom status over the years. Her incredible voice and heart gripping stage aura have not ceased over the years. On the contrary, it is her statement to the world that she still knows how to move heart and soul of every music fan.
