    About this album

    Broken English is Marianne Faithfull’s brutal, triumphant comeback album, and one of the great reinventions of the late 1970s. Released in 1979, it recast her as an incisive, hard-edged interpreter of post-punk and new wave textures, with raw vocals and bleakly direct writing that matched the era’s disillusionment. The title track, ‘The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan’ and ‘Why D’Ya Do It’ became central to its reputation, while the record’s sharp arrangements and confrontational tone gave it lasting critical weight. Widely regarded as Faithfull’s signature album, it turned personal ruin into formidable artistic authority.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
