PJ Harvey

In the live recording from Bestival 2011, PJ Harvey is seen at a pivotal moment in her career, shortly after the release of her acclaimed album, "Let England Shake," which came out in February 2011. This album marked a notable shift for Harvey, embracing a more politically charged and abstract lyrical style that reflected her concerns about war and national identity. Performing songs like "The Words That Maketh Murder" and "The Glorious Land," she connected deeply with the audience, illustrating her powerful presence and emotionally charged performances. Interestingly, "Let England Shake" not only won the Mercury Prize but also solidified her reputation as a trailblazer in contemporary music, showcasing her innovative approach and willingness to confront difficult subjects. It was a dynamic period, as she was not just performing but redefining her artistry.
