“I had a wonderful, inspirational English teacher called Mrs Simpson. She introduced me to the English Romantics. I had to leave it all behind in order to be a pop singer, but I never forgot them.”

—Faithfull on her inspiration for the recordings[7]

She Walks in Beauty is a 2021 studio album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis and British singer Marianne Faithfull putting music to British romantic poetry. Faithfull started recording it in 2020,[1] only finishing it during her recovery from a serious case of COVID-19; she has described the work as her dream project that she wanted to record for 50 years.[8][6] The album has received positive reviews from critics.
