Alternative superstar PJ Harvey has made a triumphant return to the music scene with her first North American tour in seven years, kicking off in Washington, DC. Harvey, known for being the only artist to win Britain’s Mercury Prize twice, is a gift for serious music fans.
Harvey's hiatus from music in 2017 allowed her to reflect on her career and rediscover her passion for music and expression through words and singing. She emphasized the importance of finding joy and passion in her work to continue creating meaningful art.
Over the years, Harvey has delved into poetry, drawing inspiration for her music from the craft. She has studied under a mentor and continues to hone her skills as both a songwriter and poet, recognizing the distinct disciplines of each form of expression.
Harvey's latest work, including the album 'I Inside The Old Year Dying,' showcases her evolution as an artist, with songs like 'Lwonesome Tonight' and 'All Souls' resonating deeply with audiences during live performances.
Reflecting on her own journey, Harvey admires artists like Bob Dylan and Bjork for their ability to continually push boundaries and reinvent themselves, even in the later stages of their careers.
As Harvey embarks on her tour, she aims to connect with her audience on a profound level, sharing moments of music and emotion that she finds to be the essence of life itself.
Harvey's dedication to her craft and her commitment to artistic growth serve as an inspiration to both fans and fellow musicians, solidifying her status as one of the most daring and influential artists in the music industry.
