Album Notes & Community Reviews

The iconic British singer-songwriter delivers an incredibly sophisticated, highly introspective late-career masterpiece, featuring collaborations with Nick Cave, Anna Calvi, and Roger Waters. 'Give My Love to London' utilizes incredibly lush, melancholic string arrangements to frame her remarkably deep, dramatically weathered vocal performances. The album provides a profoundly poetic, beautifully sombre, and deeply existential meditation on mortality and legacy.
