Marianne Faithfull - A Perfect Stranger The Island Anthology
Review by Chris Dowell
Marianne Faithfull's album A Perfect Stranger The Island Anthology is a masterpiece that showcases the singer's versatility and depth. The compilation album features some of the most iconic tracks from Faithfull's career, spanning from the 1960s to the early 2000s.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "As Tears Go By," a song that launched Faithfull's career in the 1960s. The track sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a mix of ballads, rock, and folk songs that showcase Faithfull's voice at its best.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broken English," a song that was released in 1979 and marked a turning point in Faithfull's career. The song's raw and edgy sound was a departure from Faithfull's earlier work, and it showed a new side of the singer that was both vulnerable and powerful.
Another highlight of the album is "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan," a song that has become a fan favorite over the years. The track is a poignant tale of a woman who dreams of a different life but ultimately succumbs to the realities of her mundane existence.
