PJ Harvey performs Silence from the album White Chalk on Later With Jools Holland

Venue: Colston Hall Location: Bristol, England, United Kingdom Date: September 24, 2007

In this captivating live performance from September 24, 2007, PJ Harvey delivers 'Silence' at Colston Hall in Bristol. This song is the seventh track from her eighth studio album, 'White Chalk,' which was also released on that very day. At this point in her career, PJ was embracing a more minimalist and introspective sound, starkly different from her earlier work. 'White Chalk' reflects her bold move towards piano-led compositions, showing off her vulnerable yet powerful vocal style. Interestingly, Harvey often eschews conventional self-promotion, instead choosing to let her art speak for itself, which adds an air of mystery to her performances. The raw, haunting beauty of 'Silence' serves as a testament to her evolution as an artist, capturing the audience’s hearts with an understated intensity that only PJ Harvey can deliver.
