Negative Capability is the 21st album by Marianne Faithfull and the one with the strongest emotional power in her 54-year career. Overcoming arthritis and supported by collaborators such as Warren Ellis, Nick Cave, Rob Ellis, Ed Harcourt and Mark Lanegan, Negative Capability is charged with brutal honesty and autobiographical reflection as she evokes the loss of old friends, loneliness in Paris, her adopted city, and love.
