PJ Harvey

In the captivating live performance of "All and Everyone" at Primavera Sound 2011, PJ Harvey was riding high after the release of her critically acclaimed album, "Let England Shake," which came out just a few months earlier in February 2011. This album signified a remarkable evolution in her sound, blending introspective lyrics with bold political commentary, which resonated deeply with audiences and critics alike. Harvey's raw and emotive vocal delivery during the live set showcased her artistic growth and command as a performer. It's fascinating to note that she became the first female solo artist to win the prestigious Mercury Prize twice—first for "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" in 2001 and again later in 2011 for "Let England Shake." The performance in Barcelona not only highlights her artistic prowess at that time, but also serves as a pivotal moment showcasing her engagement with themes of identity and national consciousness.
