PJ Harvey

In 2004, during her performance of "Good Fortune" at the Glastonbury Festival, PJ Harvey was riding high on the success of her album "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea," released in 2000, which had garnered critical acclaim and won the Mercury Prize. By the time of her Glastonbury performance, she had released her follow-up album, "Uh Huh Her," just weeks earlier on May 31, 2004. This album, characterized by its raw sound and introspective lyrics, represented a shift towards a more lo-fi aesthetic after the polished production of its predecessor. Interestingly, Harvey's live performance at Glastonbury showcased her dynamic stage presence and ability to engage with the audience, reinforcing her reputation as a formidable live artist, often noted for her emotional intensity and powerful vocals. This festival appearance was a pivotal moment in her career, highlighting her evolution as an artist in the early 2000s.
